Paul Eggert 55c6e4b6 2011-12-31T13:38:25 doc: cover st_ino issues once; add OpenVMS etc. * doc/posix-functions/stat.texi (stat): * doc/posix-functions/lstat.texi (lstat): * doc/posix-functions/fstatat.texi (fstatat): * doc/posix-functions/fstat.texi (fstat): Move general 'struct stat' stuff to sys_stat.texi, leaving behind a pointer. * doc/posix-headers/sys_stat.texi (sys/stat.h): Merge duplicate info about 'struct stat' problems into here. Mention issues with OpenVMS, GNU/Linux NFS, NetApp, ClearCase, and suggest partial workarounds.
Paul Eggert 599a6645 2011-07-26T02:48:03 Add dependencies to the 'largefile' module. * modules/fopen (Depends-on): Add 'largefile'. * modules/freopen (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/fseeko (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/ftello (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/glob (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/lseek (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/lstat (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/mkostemp (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/mkostemps (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/mkstemp (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/mkstemps (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/open (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/openat (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/pread (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/pwrite (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/scandir (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/stat (Depends-on): Likewise. * modules/tmpfile (Depends-on): Likewise. * m4/mkstemp.m4 (gl_FUNC_MKSTEMP): Do not require AC_SYS_LARGEFILE, since the containing module now depends on the largefile module. * m4/tempname.m4 (gl_FUNC_GEN_TEMPNAME): Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/fopen.texi: Mention that the problem of 32-bit off_t is fixed by gnulib. * doc/posix-functions/freopen.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/fseeko.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/fstatat.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/ftello.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/glob.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/lseek.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/lstat.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/mkstemp.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/open.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/openat.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/pread.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/pwrite.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/scandir.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/stat.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/tmpfile.texi: Likewise. * doc/glibc-functions/mkostemp.texi: Likewise. * doc/glibc-functions/mkostemps.texi: Likewise. * doc/glibc-functions/mkstemps.texi: Likewise.

Eric Blake 0510d19e 2009-09-21T14:40:20 readlink: document portability issue with symlink length Per comments in areadlink, ERANGE on a too-small buffer is expected on some platforms; making the readlink module guarantee GNU behavior of truncated contents is counter-productive, since we would be duplicating areadlink to learn a-priori how large to make the buffer, and since truncated contents are not as useful. * doc/posix-functions/lstat.texi (lstat): Mention that some file systems have bogus st_size on symlinks, and mention the areadlink-with-size module. * doc/posix-functions/fstatat.texi (fstatat): Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/readlink.texi (readlink): Mention the areadlink module, and ERANGE failure. * doc/posix-functions/readlinkat.texi (readlinkat): Likewise. * tests/test-readlink.c (main): Relax test for AIX, HP-UX.

Eric Blake b4caad34 2009-09-17T15:55:24 lstat: fix Solaris 9 bug lstat("file/",buf) mistakenly succeeded. * lib/lstat.c (lstat): Also check for trailing slash on non-symlink, non-directories. Use stat module to simplify logic. * doc/posix-functions/lstat.texi (lstat): Document it. * modules/lstat-tests (Depends-on): Add errno, same-inode. (configure.ac): Check for symlink. * tests/test-lstat.c (main): Add more tests. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
