Here's another snapshot, prior to coreutils-7.6. We've inherited quite a few changes from gnulib, including one to fix the Solaris build failure. coreutils snapshot: http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz 9.6 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.xz 4.0 MB http://meyering.

fsetxattr() fails on a writable descriptor?

2009-09-08 Thread Pádraig Brady
fsetxattr() is failing for me when the permissions are readonly but the descriptor is writable as demonstrated by the program below. I've tried this on ext3 and ext4 with libattr-2.4.43-3.fc11.i586 and linux-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586 Is this expected? cheers, Pádraig. #include #include #include #

wishlist: give cut(1) option to split fields on whitespace

2009-09-08 Thread Mike Coleman
It would be really nice if cut(1) could split fields using whitespace as a separator (as many other text tools do). Currently I use $ awk '{ print $3, $4, $5 }' for this sort of thing, but it seems relatively klutzy, as opposed to (say) $ cut -w -f 3-5 Mike

extend inotify to support file descriptors in addition to paths

2009-09-08 Thread Giuseppe Scrivano
Hello, at the moment inotify permits to add new files to be watched using their path. There are situations where the file path is not know but a descriptor is available. It would be desiderable to have the possibility to use the inotify system even in these (rare) cases. A concrete example of a
