I do not know the name of the original author of the findutils
package, but the authors of all the major components are known. Eric
B. Decker contributed GNU find and Michael Rendell contributed xargs.
James A. Woods contributed locate.
Here are the names of some authors culled from ChangeLog and
miscellaneous other files. The main criterion for whether your name
ends up in this file or in THANKS is that the people with entries here
donated code or documentation which was significant enough to require
a copyright assignment.
The locate program and its helper programs are derived (heavily
modified) from James Woods' public domain fast-find code, which is
also distributed with the 4.3BSD find.

The current maintainer of the findutils package is James Youngman.
Questions about findutils should be addressed to the mailing list,
which, contrary to the impression given by its
name, is used for general discussion of the findutils package.
README 0000666 00000006142 15050100516 0005424 0 ustar 00 This package contains the GNU find, xargs, and locate programs. find
and xargs comply with POSIX 1003.2, as far as I know (with the
exception of the "+" modifier for the "-exec" action, which isn't
implemented yet). They also support a large number of additional
options, some borrowed from Unix and some unique to GNU.
See the file NEWS for a list of major changes in the current release.
See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.
To verify the GPG signature of the release, you will need the public
key of the findutils maintainer. You can download this from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg. Alternatively, you could query
a PGP keyserver, but you will need to use one that can cope with
subkeys containing photos. Many older key servers cannot do this. I
use subkeys.pgp.net. I think that one works. See also the
"Downloading" section of http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/.
Special configure options:
--with-afs
Make find support "-fstype afs". Requires /afs, /usr/afsws/lib, and
/usr/afsws/include. configure doesn't add AFS support
automatically because it adds considerably to find's size, and the
AFS libraries need -lucb on Solaris, which breaks find.
--enable-id-cache
Make tables of used UIDs and GIDs at startup instead of using
getpwuid or getgrgid when needed. Speeds up -nouser and -nogroup
unless you are running NIS or Hesiod, which make password and group
calls very expensive.
--enable-debug
Produce output on the standard error output indicating what find is
doing. This information includes details about how the command line
has been parsed and what files have been stat()ed. This output is
normally interesting only to the maintainer, and so is off by default.
DEFAULT_ARG_SIZE=
If this environment variable is defined to a numeric expression
during configure, it determines the default argument size limits used
by xargs without -s, and by find, when spawning child processes.
Otherwise, the default is set at 128 kibibytes. If the system cannot
support the default limit, the system's limit will be used instead.
To gain speed, GNU find avoids statting files whenever possible.
It does this by:
1. Checking the number of links to directories and not statting files
that it knows aren't directories until it encounters a test or action
that needs the stat info.
2. Rearranging the command line, where possible, so that it can do tests
that don't require a stat before tests that do, in hopes that the
latter will be skipped because of an OR or AND. (But it only does
this where it will leave the output unchanged.)
The locate program and its helper programs are derived (heavily
modified) from James Woods' public domain fast-find code, which is
also distributed with the 4.3BSD find. Because POSIX.2 requires `find
foo' to have the same effect as `find foo -print', the fast-find
searching has been moved to a separate program, `locate'; the same
thing has been done in 4.4BSD. If you use locate, you should run the
included `updatedb' script from cron periodically (typically nightly).
Mail suggestions and bug reports for these programs to
bug-findutils@gnu.org.
NEWS 0000666 00000225717 15050100516 0005256 0 ustar 00 GNU findutils NEWS - User visible changes. -*- outline -*- (allout)
* Major changes in release 4.4.3-git, YYYY-MM-DD
** Bug Fixes
#29949: find -execdir does not change working directory
#27563: -L breaks -execdir
#19593: -execdir .... {} + has suboptimal performance (see below)
** Performance changes
The find program will once again build argument lists longer than 1
with "-execdir ...+". The upper limit of 1 argument for execdir was
introduced as a workaround in findutils-4.3.4. The limit is now
removed, but find still does not issue the maximum possible number of
arguments, since an exec will occur each time find encounters a
subdirectory (if at least one argument is pending).
* Major changes in release 4.4.2, 2009-05-16
** Bug Fixes
#26537: find -prune now makes sure it has valid stat() information.
** Translations
Updated the Slovenian translation.
* Major changes in release 4.4.1, 2009-04-21
** Bug Fixes
On some systems without support for a boolean type (for example some
versions of the AIX C compiler), find's regular expression
implementation fails to support case-insensitive regular expression
matching, causing -iregex to behave like -regex. This is now fixed.
#25764: remove duplicate entry for 'proc' in updatedb's $PRUNEFS.
#25154: Allow compilation with C compilers that don't allow
declarations to follow statements.
#25144: Misleading error message when argument to find -user is an
unknown user or is missing.
#24283: -printf %TY causes NULL pointer dereference on Solaris.
#24169: find would segfault if the -newerXY test was not followed by
any argument.
#23996: integer overflow on some platforms when parsing "-used 3".
#23663: crash in some locales for -printf %AX (this problem seems to
have affected only the CVS code for 4.5.x, and not any public
releases, but it was a problem with the original fix for bug #22662)
#22662: find -printf %AX appends nanoseconds in the right place now.
** Functional Enhancements to find
If the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable is set, the system's
definition of "yes" and "no" responses are used to interpret the
response to questions from -ok and -okdir. The default is still to
use information from the findutils message translations.
** Documentation Enhancements
Both the Texinfo manual and the find manual page now include a more
precise description of how your locale configuration affects the
interpretation of regular expressions and how your response to prompts
from the -ok action are interpreted.
Added a worked example describing how to find the shallowest instances
of a given directory name (or names) in a directory hierarchy.
The file README-CVS has been renamed to README-hacking and improved.
** Translations
Updated translations: Catalan, French, German, Indonesian, Irish,
Dutch, Polish, Slovenian, Swedish, Vietnamese, Chinese (simplified),
Lithuanian.
* Major changes in release 4.4.0, 2008-03-15
The 4.4.0 release of findutils is a stable release, succeeding the
final release in the previous development series, 4.3.13. However,
since many users will have previously been using the previous stable
release series, this section describes the changes between the 4.2.33
release (which was the final 4.2.x release) and 4.3.0.
Some items in the lists of changes are prefixed by bug numbers (though
some of them are simply enhancements, not bugs).
Apart from the changes in version number and development versus stable
status, the only differences between 4.3.13 and 4.4.0 are bug fixes
#15472 and #20873.
It's possible that some of the bug fixes mentioned as fixed are in
fact fixes for bugs both introduced and fixed in 4.3.x (and thus not
present in 4.2.x at all). While I have tried not to list those, some
may have slipped through.
** Functional enhancements to locate
*** slocate compatibility
The slocate database format is supported, both for reading by locate
and writing by updatedb.
Preliminary changes intended to eventually allow setuid operation of
locate have also been made. For the moment, please don't install GNU
locate as a set-user-ID program (except for testing purposes; if you
do so, please make sure that untrusted users cannot execute the
set-user-ID locate program).
Use of an slocate database which was built with a nonzero security
mode (at the moment, GNU updatedb will not do this) forces locate's
"-e" option to be turned on, and that has an effect on the "-S" option
which is probably surprising for most users.
*** Other changes
Locate can now read old-format locate databases generated on machines
with a different byte order. It does this by guessing the byte order,
so the result is not completely reliable. If you need to share
databases between machines of different architectures, you should use
the LOCATE02 format (which has other advantages, as explained in the
documentation).
A new option, --max-database-age, has been added to locate.
Translation of locate --limit problems is improved.
The /proc filesystem is excluded from the locate database (by
default; change PRUNEPATHS to modify this behaviour).
** Functional enhancements to find
*** fts
By default, find now uses the fts() function to search the file
system. The use of fts greatly increases find's ability to search
extremely deep directory hierarchies.
You can tell that the version of find you are using uses FTS, because
the output of "find --version" will include the word "FTS".
Currently two binaries for 'find' are built. The configure option
--without-fts can be used to select whether 'find' uses fts:
With fts Without fts
default configuration find oldfind
configure --with-fts find oldfind
configure --without-fts ftsfind find
New tests, -readable, -writable, -executable. These check that a file
can be read, written or executed respectively.
*** Changes to printf
The -printf action (and similar related actions) now support %S,
which is a measurement of the sparseness of a file.
*** Changes to -perm
The test "-perm /000" now matches all files instead of no files. For
over a year find has been issuing warning messages indicating that
this change will happen. We now issue a warning indicating that the
change has already happened (in 4.3.x only, there is no plan to make
this change in the 4.2.x series).
*** Time stamp resolution
The tests -newer, -anewer, -cnewer, -mtime, -atime, -ctime, -amin,
-cmin, -mmin and -used now support sub-second time stamps, including
the ability to specify times with non-integer arguments.
The -printf format specifiers also support sub-second time stamps:
atime ctime mtime
%a %c %t
%AS %CS %TS
%AT %CT %TT
%A+ %C+ %T+
%AX %CX %TX
*** Changes to -prune
The -prune action now always evaluates as true (this is also a
bug fix).
*** New tests
The new test -newerXY supports comparison between status times for
files. One of the status times for a file being considered (denoted
X) is checked against a reference time (denoted Y) for the file whose
name id the argument. X and Y can be:
a Access time
B Birth time (st_birthtime, currently unsupported)
c Change time
m Modification time
t Valid only for the reference time; instead of comparison
against a file status time, the argument is a time string.
Not yet supported.
For example, -newermm is equivalent to -newer, and -neweram is true if
the file being considered was accessed more recently than the
reference file was modified. The -newerXY test supports subsecond
timestamps where these are available. The X=B variant is not yet
implemented.
#11668: FreeBSD extensions for time specification are now implemented.
*** Other changes to find
#20688: The warning printed by -name or -iname when the pattern to
match contains a slash can now be silenced by -nowarn. This warning
was originally introduced unconditionally in 4.2.21.
For find, debug output can now be enabled at runtime with the -D
option. This causes the printing of various sorts of information
about find's internal state and progress.
The find option -nowarn cannot itself produce a warning (this used to
happen with commands like "find . -name quux -nowarn -print").
You now get a more helpful error message when you use command lines
which have missing expressions, such as
find . ( )
find . !
find . -a
find . \( -not \)
find . \( -true -a
*** Standards conformance
POSIX will standardise -path, so the documentation no longer claims
that -wholename is the 'canonical' test, and -ipath no longer
generates a warning.
When the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable is set, "find -perm
+a+w" is rejected as invalid. Some other similar mode strings
starting with '+' which are not valid in POSIX are also rejected.
Find now follows POSIX rules for determining where directories end and
expressions start. This means that "find \(1 \!2 \, \)" now searches
in the four named directories, rather than trying to parse an
expression. (Savannah bug #15235).
#21039: Setting the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable now turns off
warnings by default, because POSIX requires that only diagnostic
messages (and -ok prompts) are printed on STDERR, and diagnostic
messages must also result in a nonzero exit status.
#20803: POSIX requires that -prune always returns true. Previously it
returned false when -depth was in effect and true otherwise.
** Functional ehnahcements to xargs
While there are a number of bug fixes in xargs in this release (as
compared to the previous stable release), there are no functional
enhancements as such.
** Performance Enhancements
*** Cost-based optimiser
Find now has a rudimentary cost-based optimiser. It has an idea of
the basic cost of each test (i.e. that -name is very cheap while -size
is more expensive). It re-orders tests bearing in mind the cost of
each test and its likely success. Predicates with side effects (for
example -delete or -exec) are not reordered. The optimiser is not
yet enabled by default, but the new option -O controls the query
optimisation level. To see this in action, try
find -D opt -O3 . -type f -o -type c -o -size 555 -name Z
and compare the optimised query with:
find -D opt -O3 . -size 555 -o -type c -o -type f -name Z
and
find -D opt . -size 555 -o -type c -o -type f -name Z
Over time, as optimisations are proven to be robust and correct, they
will be moved to lower optimisation levels. Some optimisations have
always been performed by find (for example -name is always done early
if possible).
** Security Fixes
#20014: Findutils-4.3.7 includes a patch for a potential security
problem in locate. When locate read an old-format database, it read
file names into a fixed-length buffer allocated on the heap without
checking for overflow. Although overflowing a heap buffer is often
somewhat safer than overflowing a buffer on the stack, this bug still
has potential security implications.
This bug also affected the following previous findutils releases:
- All releases prior to 4.2.31
- Findutils 4.3.0 to 4.3.6.
This bug has been assigned CVE number CVE-2007-2452.
** Bug Fixes
#22057: Actually rename the old locate database to the new one
atomically, instead of just claiming the rename is atomic in a
comment.
#22056: -Xtime tests are off by one second (e.g. rm -f x; touch x;
find x -mtime 0 should print x).
#21960: xargs should collect the exit status of child processes even
if the total count of unreaped children has not yet reached the
maximum allowed.
#21568: Switch to checking the gnulib code out with native git, not
CVS. This affects mainly those who check findutils code out of CVS.
#20970: Trailing slash on directory arguments breaks -name. "find
foo/ -name foo" now correctly matches foo and printf foo/. See POSIX
interp
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/interps/uploads/40/14959/AI-186.txt
#20865: Using both -delete and -prune without explicitly using -depth
is now an error. Traditionally, -delete has always turned -depth on
anyway, so this is not a functional change. However, using -depth
(implicitly or explicitly) makes -prune a no-op. This change is
intended to avoid nasty surprises for people who test with "-print"
and then change it to "-delete" when they are happy.
#20834: Avoid segmentation violation for -execdir when $PATH is unset.
Assume that the PATH is safe in this situation.
#20802: If -delete fails, find's exit status will now be non-zero.
However, find still skips trying to delete ".".
#20547: The version information printed by find, xargs, locate,
updatedb, frcode and code now complies with the GNU Project's coding
standards.
#20310: configure uses hosts's support status for "sort -z" when
generating the updatedb script for use on the target. This is
inappropriate when cross-compiling, so avoid doing that.
#20273: When xargs is successful without consuming all of stdin (for
example, with the -E option), and stdin is seekable, xargs now
correctly restores the file position, even on platforms where exit()
does not follow the POSIX rules of doing likewise. Likewise for find
(for example, with the -ok action).
#20157: Avoid segfault in locate when run as root. This is caused by
a buffer overrun, but at this time no exploit mechanism is known.
#20139: find -[acm]time -N (wrongly) includes files from N days ago,
as well as (correctly) from less than N days ago.
#20005: Tests -mtime -n and -mtime +n incorrectly treated like -mtime
n.
#19948: Fixed an assertion failure on IRIX 6.5 (O_NOFOLLOW is defined
to 0 there).
#19923: Fixed an array overrun in groups[] array of 'locate' when run
by or as root. This bug appears not to be exploitable. If locate is
not installed setuid, the bug is not exploitable. For setuid
installations, it is conceivable that there could be an information
leak if the user uses the -d option or the -e option, though the
maintainer has been unable to provoke this on an x86 system.
#19871: Typos in find.1
#19871: Spurious .R directives in man page produced error messages from
GNU troff. This is now fixed (they are corrected to .B).
#19806: The -samefile predicate might get fooled by inode reuse. We
now hold open a file descriptor on the reference file to prevent
this.
#19768: Better detection of corrupted old-style locate databases
(e.g. if the database is too short to include a complete bigram
table).
#19766: The frcode and code programs now detect write errors more
reliably.
#19658: When cross-compiling, "make clean" no longer deletes the
generated file doc/regexprops.texi, because there is no way to
regenerate it.
#19634: Test suite now passes (again) if "." is on your $PATH.
#19619: Findutils builds once again on Cygwin.
#19605: Issue an error message (and later return nonzero exit status)
if a symbolic link loop was encountered during directory traversal.
#19596: Correct the comparison in the find man page and Texinfo manual
between %b and %s (the divisor is 512 not 1024).
#19484: bigram.c and code.c fail if the first pathname recorded begins
with a space
#19483: Inconsistent option highlighting in updatedb man page
#19416: The result of I/O operations in print-related actions is now
checked, and failures are reported. Any failure will cause find's
exit status to be nonzero. The predicate itself will continue to
return true.
#19391: When xargs knows that the system's actual exec limit is larger
than the compiled-in ARG_MAX, use the system's limit without
generating an assertion failure.
#19371: Fix compilation failure on systems which #define open to
open64 (and similarly with the close system call). This fixes
Savannah bug #19371, affecting AIX 5.3.
#18714: In the POSIX locale, vertical tabs and form feeds are not
field separators.
#18713: Quoted but empty arguments which occur last on an xargs input
line are no longer ignored, but instead produce an empty argument.
#18466: we now avoid this bug by limiting "-execdir ...+" to just one
argument for the time being. There is a performance penalty for
doing this. We hope to make a better fix in a later release.
#18414: Tests for "find -readable" are skipped for the superuser, as
on some systems (e.g. Cygwin with an Administrative user) users can
read mode-000 files.
#18384: excess bracket in xargs --help
#18320: Zero bytes in input should give warning
#18222: find -printf '%H %P' once again prints the right result if
more than one start point was given on the command line.
#18203: A duplicate report of bug #17478.
#17782: find -execdir now correctly puts the prefix "./" before the
expansion of "{}" rather than at the start of the argument it appears
in. Please note that if you use the -exec or -execdir actions with a
shell, then you may be vulnerable to shell code injection attacks, so
don't do that. It's not a security defect in find - you should not
be passing untrusted data (such as file names chosen by other people)
to the shell.
#17478: Error messages from find can garble the console.
#17477: find -printf '%' (that is, where the format has a trailing %)
now generates an error message.
#17437: Corrected the handling of X in symbolic permissions (such as
-u+w,a+X).
#17396: find -mtime -atime -ctime does not support fractional part
(see "Functional changes" below)
#17372: The fts-based find executable (the default configuration uses
fts) is now much faster when -maxdepth is used on filesystems with
high fanouts.
#16738: "find .... -exec ... {} +" now works if you have a large
environment and many files must be passed to the -exec action. The
same problem affected the -execdir action, though since the number of
files in a given directory will normally be smaller, the problem was
worse for -exec.
#16579: Updatedb now works if it is running as a user whose login
shell is not actually a shell.
#16378: Assertion failure if stat() returns 00000 as the mode of a
file. This apparently can happen occasionally with broken NFS
servers.
#15800: If find finds more subdirectories within a parent directory
than it previously expected to based on the link count of the parent,
the resulting error message now gives the correct directory name
(previously an error message was issued but it specified the wrong
directory).
#15531: The -prune action now behaves correctly when applied to a
file.
#15472: Error messages that print ino_t values are no longer truncated
on platforms with 64-bit ino_t.
#15384: Find misbehaves when parent directory is not readable.
#14748: find -perm /zzz gives wrong result when zzz evaluates to an
all-zero mask
#14535: correctly support case-folding in locate (that is, "locate
-i") for multi-byte character environments such as UTF-8. Previously,
if your search string contained a character which was outside the
single-byte-encoding range for UTF-8 for example, then the
case-folding behaviour failed to work and only exact matches would be
returned.
** Documentation Fixes
#20873: Indicate that * matches / and leading dot in filenames for
"find -path".
#18554: Documented the construct -exec sh -c 'foo "$@" bar' {} +
#15360: The global effect of options (other than -daystart and
-follow) is now explained more clearly in the manual page.
The locatedb.5 man page now documents the (default) LOCATE02 format
more clearly, and also documents the slocate database format.
The maximum and default values applying to the -s option of xargs are
now documented more clearly in the manual page.
** Compilation Fixes
If you configure the source code and then run the tests with "make
check", the test suite fails rather than defaulting to testing the
system binaries.
#19416: _FORTIFY_SOURCE warn_unused_result warnings
#19948: Assertion failure O_NOFOLLOW != 0 on IRIX 6.5
#19965: Compilation failure on OSF/1 4.0; non-declaration of uintmax_t
#19965: Fixed a compilation failure on OSF/1 4.0 (no definition of the
type uintmax_t).
#19966: Findutils should now build on systems which have the modf()
and fabs() functions in the maths library, -lm. This includes some
versions of HP-UX and Solaris.
#19966: find should link against -lm for modf() and fabs()
#19967: Build successfully with C compilers that don't support the GCC
construct __attribute__((__noreturn__)).
#19967: Use of __attribute((__noreturn__)) makes compilation fail with
some non-GCC compilers
#19970: Cannot cast from pointer to bool using gnulib's
#19970: Compile correctly on C89 systems where the "_Bool" type is not
provided, taking into account the limitations of the gnulib
replacement for stdbool.h.
#19979: Compilation errors on BeOS
#19980: Don't use the functions putw() or getw() since these are not
in current POSIX. Use the gnulib version of wcwidth() where the
system does not provide it.
#19981: Don't call setgroups if the function isn't available.
#19983: Now compiles on DEC C V5.9-005 on Digital UNIX V4.0 (or at
least, should).
#20128: Fix compilation error of find/tree.c on AIX with GCC.
#20263: Compilation fix for DEC Alpha OSF/1 cc, which forbids the
ordering comparison of function pointers.
#20594: Allow fine-tuning of the default argument size used by xargs
and find at ./configure time.
* Major changes in the 4.3.x release series
Release notes for the 4.3.x releases follow, though the changes are
mostly listed above (except bugfixes for bugs introduced in 4.3.x).
The previous stable release was 4.2.33, though 4.3.0 was actually
derived from 4.2.27.
* Major changes in release 4.3.13, 2008-02-14
** Bug Fixes
#22057: Actually rename the old locate database to the new one
atomically, instead of just claiming the rename is atomic in a
comment.
#22056: -Xtime tests are off by one second (e.g. rm -f x; touch x;
find x -mtime 0 should print x).
#21960: xargs should collect the exit status of child processes even if
the total count of unreaped children has not yet reached the maximum
allowed.
** Documentation Fixes
Documented various useful techniques with invoking "sh -c" from
xargs in the Texinfo documentation.
** Translations
Updated the German, Irish, Dutch, Polish and Vietnamese translations.
* Major changes in release 4.3.12, 2007-12-19
** Bug Fixes
#15384: Find misbehaves when parent directory is not readable.
** Documentation Fixes
More examples in the xargs manual page, including a portable analogue
for BSD's "xargs -o".
** Translations
Updated translations: Polish, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Vietnamese.
* Major changes in release 4.3.11, 2007-12-02
** Functional changes
When the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable is set, "find -perm
+a+w" is rejected as invalid. Some other similar mode strings
starting with '+' which are not valid in POSIX are also rejected.
The -prune action now always evaluates as true (this is also a
bugfix).
** Bug Fixes
#21568: Switch to checking the gnulib code out with native git, not
CVS. This affects mainly those who check findutils code out of CVS.
This is not the first time this bug has been fixed (the previous fix
used "cvs update -D", which git-cvspserver silently does not
support).
#21039: Setting the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable now turns off
warnings by default, because POSIX requires that only diagnostic
messages (and -ok prompts) are printed on STDERR, and diagnostic
messages must also result in a nonzero exit status.
#20970: Trailing slash on directory arguments breaks -name. "find
foo/ -name foo" now correctly matches foo and printf foo/. See POSIX
interp http://www.opengroup.org/austin/interps/uploads/40/14959/AI-186.txt
#20865: Using both -delete and -prune without explicitly using -depth
is now an error. Traditionally, -delete has always turned -depth on
anyway, so this is not a functional change. However, using -depth
(implicitly or explicitly) makes -prune a no-op. This change is
intended to avoid nasty surprises for people who test with
"-print" and then change it to "-delete" when they are happy.
#20803: POSIX requires that -prune always returns true. Previously it
returned false when -depth was in effect and true otherwise.
#20802: If -delete fails, find's exit status will now be non-zero.
However, find still skips trying to delete ".".
** Documentation Fixes
#21635: Some of the documentation files had missing copying
conditions. The missing files now have copying headers, and these
are compatible with each other (GNU FDL 1.2).
#21634: No copy of FDL 1.2 included with the source code
#21633: Missing copyright/license header in some documentation.
#21628: find -perm /000 matches all files rather than none, since
findutils-4.3.3. The Texinfo documentation is now consistent with the
manual page on this point.
#21270: Formatting fixes to the xargs.1 manual page, including making
options bold instead of italic and making OPTIONS a section header
rather than a subsection.
* Major changes in release 4.3.10, 2007-11-13
** Bug Fixes
#21568: findutils gnulib code does not match the date in
import-gnulib.config. We now check out the gnulib code via
git-cvs-pserver.
* Major changes in release 4.3.9, 2007-11-11
** Licensing
Findutils version 4.3.9 is released under version 3 of the GNU General
Public License.
** Bug Fixes
#20834: Avoid segmentation violation for -execdir when $PATH is
unset. Assume that the PATH is safe in this situation.
#20310: configure uses hosts's support status for "sort -z" when
generating the updatedb script for use on the target. This is
inappropriate when cross-compiling, so avoid doing that.
#20263: Compilation fix for DEC Alpha OSF/1 cc, which forbids the
ordering comparison of function pointers.
#20139: find -[acm]time -N (wrongly) includes files from N days ago,
as well as (correctly) from less than N days ago.
#20273: When xargs is successful without consuming all of stdin (for
example, with the -E option), and stdin is seekable, xargs now
correctly restores the file position, even on platforms where exit()
does not follow the POSIX rules of doing likewise. Likewise for find
(for example, with the -ok action).
#20547: The version information printed by find, xargs, locate,
updatedb, frcode and code now complies with the GNU Project's coding
standards.
#20662: Avoid memory leak in find -name and other places affected by
gnulib dirname module. The leak had been present since 4.3.1.
#20751: Avoid memory corruption in find -ls that has been present
since 4.3.1.
#20871: Assertion failure introduced in 4.3.3, when oldfind is invoked
in a directory where the parent directory lacks search permission.
** Enhancements
#20594: Allow fine-tuning of the default argument size used by xargs
and find at ./configure time.
#20688: The warning printed by -name or -iname when the pattern to
match contains a slash can now be silenced by -nowarn. This warning
was originally introduced unconditionally in 4.2.21.
Translation of locate --limit problems is improved.
POSIX will standardise -path, so the documentation no longer claims
that -wholename is the 'canonical' test, and -ipath no longer
generates a warning.
** Documentation Fixes
Point out more explicitly that the subsecond timestamp support
introduced by findutils-4.3.3 introduces a change in the format of
several fields.
Also explain that when reporting a bug, you should check the most
recent findutils release first.
Introduced doc/find-maint.texi, a maintenance manual for findutils.
Added an extra worked example for find (copying a subset of files).
The locate command's manual page now has a HISTORY section.
#20951: Very bad/unclear/confusing documentation of security checks in
find -execdir
#20865: Better documentation on the fact that -delete implies -depth
and that -delete interacts badly with -prune.
#20552: Fixed typos, formatting and section ordering issues in the
find manual page.
#20529: removed spurious 'o' in description of "xargs -a" in
doc/find.texi.
#20232: The --max-database-age option of locate was added in release
4.3.3, but this file (NEWS) did not previously mention this fact.
** Translations
Updated Dutch translation.
* Major changes in release 4.3.8, 2007-06-12
** Bug Fixes
#20157: Avoid segfault in locate when run as root. This is caused by
a buffer overrun, but at this time no exploit mechanism is known.
* Major changes in release 4.3.7, 2007-06-09
** Functional changes
Locate can now read old-format locate databases generated on machines
with a different byte order. It does this by guessing the byte order,
so the result is not completely reliable. If you need to share
databases between machines of different architectures, you should use
the LOCATE02 format (which has other advantages, as explained in the
documentation).
** Security Fixes
#20014: Findutils-4.3.7 includes a patch for a potential security
problem in locate. When locate read an old-format database, it read
file names into a fixed-length buffer allocated on the heap without
checking for overflow. Although overflowing a heap buffer is often
somewhat safer than overflowing a buffer on the stack, this bug still
has potential security implications.
This bug also affected the following previous findutils releases:
- All releases prior to 4.2.31
- Findutils 4.3.0 to 4.3.6.
This bug has been assigned CVE number CVE-2007-2452.
** Bug Fixes
#20128: Fix compilation error of find/tree.c on AIX with GCC.
#20005: Tests -mtime -n and -mtime +n incorrectly treated like -mtime n.
#19983: include_next causes compilation failure in findutils 4.3.6 on
non-GCC compilers
#19981: Don't call setgroups if the function isn't available. This
fixes Savannah bug# 19981.
#19980: Don't use the functions putw() or getw() since these are not
in current POSIX. Use the gnulib version of wcwidth() where the
system does not provide it.
#19979: Compilation errors on BeOS
#19970: Cannot cast from pointer to bool using gnulib's
#19967: Use of __attribute((__noreturn__)) makes compilation fail with
some non-GCC compilers
#19966: find should link against -lm for modf() and fabs()
#19965: Compilation failure on OSF/1 4.0; non-declaration of uintmax_t
#19948: Assertion failure O_NOFOLLOW != 0 on IRIX 6.5
#19871: Typos in find.1
#19596: Fixed this bug again, this time in the Texinfo manual (the
discussion should compare %b with %s/512, not %s/1024).
#19416: _FORTIFY_SOURCE warn_unused_result warnings
* Major changes in release 4.3.6, 2007-05-21
** Bug Fixes
#19948: Fixed an assertion failure on IRIX 6.5 (O_NOFOLLOW is defined
to 0 there).
#19923: Fixed an array overrun in groups[] array of 'locate' when run by
or as root. This bug appears not to be exploitable. If locate is not
installed setuid, the bug is not exploitable. For setuid
installations, it is concievable that there could be an information
leak if the user uses the -d option or the -e option, though the
maintainer has been unable to provoke this on an x86 system.
#19871: Spurious .R directives in manpage produced error messages from
GNU troff. This is now fixed (they are corrected to .B).
#19416: The result of I/O operations in print-related actions is now
checked, and failures are reported. Any failure will cause find's
exit status to be nonzero. The predicate itself will continue to
return true.
** Compilation Fixes
A variety of changes were made to allow compilation to succeed on
non-GNU systems.
#19983: Now compiles on DEC C V5.9-005 on Digital UNIX V4.0 (or at
least, should).
#19970: Compile correctly on C89 systems where the "_Bool" type is not
provided, taking into account the limitations of the gnulib
replacement for stdbool.h.
#19967: Build successfully with C compilers that don't support the GCC
construct __attribute__((__noreturn__)).
#19966: Findutils should now build on systems which have the modf()
and fabs() functions in the maths library, -lm. This includes some
versions of HP-UX and Solaris.
#19965: Fixed a compilation failure on OSF/1 4.0 (no definition of the
type uintmax_t).
* Major changes in release 4.3.5, 2007-05-05
** Functional changes
Updatedb can now support he generation of file name databases which
are compatible with slocate. For some time, GNU locate has been able
to read these.
The /proc filesystem is excluded from the locate database (by
default; change PRUNEPATHS to modify this behaviour).
** Bug Fixes
#19806: The -samefile predicate might get fooled by inode reuse. We
now hold open a file descriptor on the reference file to prevent this.
#19768: Better detection of corrupted old-style locate databases
(e.g. if the database is too short to include a complete bigram
table).
#19766: The frcode and code programs now detect write errors more
reliably.
#19371: Fix compilation failure on systems which #define open to
open64 (and similarly with the close system call). This fixes
Savannah bug #19371, affecting AIX 5.3.
#19658: When cross-compiling, "make clean" no longer deletes the
generated file doc/regexprops.texi, because there is no way to
regenerate it.
#19391: When xargs knows that the system's actual exec limit is larger
than the compiled-in ARG_MAX, use the system's limit without
generating an assertion failure.
#18203: A duplicate report of bug #17478.
#17478: Error messages from find can garble the console.
#16378: Assertion failure if stat() returns 00000 as the mode
of a file. This apparently can happen occasionally with broken NFS
servers.
#11668: FreeBSD extensions for time specification are now
implemented. In fact, these were included in findutils-4.3.3. The
change was listed as a functional change (whcih it is) and this bug
report was not mentioned.
** Documentation Fixes
The locatedb.5 manpage now documents the (default) LOCATE02 format
more clearly, and also documents the slocate database format.
The maximum and default values applying to the -s option of xargs are
now documented more clearly in the manual page.
* Major changes in release 4.3.4, 2007-04-21
** Bug Fixes
#19634: Test suite now passes (again) if "." is on your $PATH.
#19619: Findutils builds once again on Cygwin.
#19617: Nonexistent start points are (once again) diagnosed in
ftsfind. This bug affected only findutils-4.3.3.
#19616: Fix leaf optimisation and loop detection (which were
unreliable in findutils 4.3.3). This bug affected only
findutils-4.3.3.
#19615: find --version no longer claims to be using FTS_CWDFD when it
isn't. This bug affected only findutils-4.3.3.
#19613: "find -L . -type f" no longer causes an assertion failure when
it encounters a symbolic link loop. This bug affected only
findutils-4.3.3.
#19605: Issue an error message (and later return nonzero exit status)
if a symbolic link loop was encountered during directory traversal.
#19484: bigram.c and code.c fail if the first pathname recorded begins
with a space
#19483: Inconsistent option highlighting in updatedb manpage
#18414: Tests for "find -readable" are skipped for the superuser, as
on some systems (e.g. Cygwin with an Administrative user) users can
read mode-000 files.
** Translations
Findutils 4.3.4 includes a translation for the Ukranian language.
* Major changes in release 4.3.3, 2007-04-15
Fiundutils-4.3.3 was released on 2007-04-15.
** Bug Fixes
#19596: Correct the comparison in the find manpage between %b and %s
(the divisor is 512 not 1024).
#18714: In the POSIX locale, vertical tabs and form feeds are not
field separators.
#18713: Quoted but empty arguments which occur last on an xargs input
line are no longer ignored, but instead produce an empty argument.
#18554: Documented the construct -exec sh -c 'foo "$@" bar' {} +
#18466: we now avoid this bug by limiting "-execdir ...+"
to just one argument for the time being. There is a performance
penalty for doing this. We hope to make a better fix in a later
release.
#18384: excess bracket in xargs --help
#18320: Zero bytes in input should give warning
#17437: Corrected the handling of X in symbolic permissions (such
as-u+w,a+X). This change actually occurred in findutils-4.3.2, but
the NEWS file for that release didn't mention it.
#17396: find -mtime -atime -ctime does not support fractional part
(see "Functional changes" below)
#14748: find -perm /zzz gives wrong result when zzz evaluates to an
all-zero mask
#14535: correctly support case-folding in locate (that is, "locate
-i") for multibyte character environments such as UTF-8. Previously,
if your search string contained a character which was outside the
single-byte-encoding range for UTF-8 for example, then the
case-folding behaviour failed to work and only exact matches would be
returned.
** Functional changes
The -printf action (and similar related actions) now support %S,
which is a measurement of the sparseness of a file.
The test "-perm /000" now matches all files instead of no files. For
over a year find has been issuing warning messages indicating that
this change will happen. We now issue a warning indicating that the
change has already happened (in 4.3.x only, there is no plan to make
this change in the 4.2.x series).
The tests -newer, -anewer, -cnewer, -mtime, -atime, -ctime, -amin,
-cmin, -mmin and -used now support sub-second timestamps, including
the ability to specify times with non-integer arguments.
The -printf format specifiers also support sub-second timestamps:
atime ctime mtime
%a %c %t
%AS %CS %TS
%AT %CT %TT
%A+ %C+ %T+
%AX %CX %TX
The new test -newerXY supports comparison between status times for
files. One of the status times for a file being considered (denoted
X) is checked against a reference time (denoted Y) for the file whose
name id the argument. X and Y can be:
a Access time
B Birth time (st_birthtime, currently unsupported)
c Change time
m Modification time
t Valid only for the reference time; instead of comparison
against a file status time, the argument is a time string.
Not yet supported.
For example, -newermm is equivalent to -newer, and -neweram is true if
the file being considered was accessed more recently than the
reference file was modified. The -newerXY test supports subsecond
timestamps where these are available. The X=B variant is not yet
implemented.
If you configure the source code and then run the tests with "make
check", the test suite fails rather than defaulting to testing the
system binaries.
A new option, --max-database-age, has been added to locate.
* Major changes in release 4.3.2, 2006-11-25
** Bug Fixes
#18222: find -printf '%H %P' once again prints the right result if
more than one start point was given on the command line.
#17782: find -execdir now correctly puts the prefix "./" before the
expansion of "{}" rather than at the start of the argument it appears
in. Please note that if you use the -exec or -execdir actions with a
shell, then you may be vulnerable to shell code injection attacks, so
don't do that. It's not a security defect in find - you should not be
passing untrusted data (such as file names chosen by other people) to
the shell.
#17490: find -regex generated a segfault in findutils-4.3.1, but this
is fixed in findutils-4.3.2.
#17477: find -printf '%' (that is, where the format has a trailing %)
now generates an error message.
#17372: The fts-based find executable (the default configuration uses
fts) is now much faster when -maxdepth is used on filesystems with
high fanouts.
#15531: The -prune action now behaves correctly when applied to a file.
** Functional changes
The slocate database format is now supported. Preliminary changes
intended to eventually allow setuid operation of locate have also been
made. For the moment, please don't install GNU locate as a
set-user-ID program (except for testing purposes; if you do so, please
make sure that untrusted users cannot execute the set-user-ID locate
program).
Use of an slocate database which was built with a nonzero security
mode (at the moment, GNU updatedb will not do this) forces locate's
"-e" option to be turned on, which has an effect on the "-S" option
which is probably surprising for most users.
** Documentation Fixes
The global effect of options (other than -daystart and -follow) is now
explained more clearly in the manual page. Savannah bug #15360.
* Major changes in release 4.3.1, 2006-08-06
** Bug Fixes
Find now follows POSIX rules for determining where directories end and
expressions start. This means that "find \(1 \!2 \, \)" now searches
in the four named directories, rather than trying to parse an
expression. (Savannah bug #15235).
You now get a more helpful error message when you use command lines
which have missing expressions, such as
find . ( )
find . !
find . -a
find . \( -not \)
find . \( -true -a
Savannah bug #15800: If find finds more subdirectories within a parent
directory than it previously expected to based on the link count of
the parent, the resulting error message now gives the correct
directory name (previously an error message was issued but it
specified the wrong directory).
Savannah bug #16738: "find .... -exec ... {} +" now works if you have
a large environment and many files must be passed to the -exec
action. The same problem affected the -execdir action, though since
the number of files in a given directory will normally be smaller, the
problem was worse for -exec.
Savannah bug #16579: Updatedb now works if it is running as a user
whose login shell is not actually a shell.
There have also been a number of documentation improvements (includng
Savannah bug #16269).
** Functional changes
For find, debug output can now be enabled at runtime with the -D
option. This causes the printing of various sorts of information
about find's internal state and progress.
The find option -nowarn cannot itself produce a warning (this used to
happen with commands like "find . -name quux -nowarn -print").
** Performance Enhancements
Find now has a rudimentary cost-based optimiser. It has an idea of
the basic cost of each test (i.e. that -name is very cheap while -size
is more expensive). It re-orders tests bearing in mind the cost of
each test and its likely success. Predicates with side effects (for
example -delete or -exec) are not reordered. The optimiser is not
yet enabled by default, but the new option -O controls the query
optimisation level. To see this in action, try
find -D opt -O3 . -type f -o -type c -o -size 555 -name Z
and compare the optimised query with:
find -D opt -O3 . -size 555 -o -type c -o -type f -name Z
and
find -D opt . -size 555 -o -type c -o -type f -name Z
Over time, as optimisations are proven to be robust and correct, they
will be moved to lower optimisation levels. Some optimisations have
always been performed by find (for example -name is always done early
if possible).
** Translations
Findutils 4.3.1 includes updated translations for the following
languages:
Vietnamese, Belarusian, Catalan, Danish, German, Greek, Esperanto,
Spanish, Estonian, Finnish, French, Irish, Galician, Croatian, Hungarian,

* Major changes in release 4.3.0, 2005-12-12
The 4.3.x release series are currently 'development' releases. Please
test it, but think carefully before installing it in a production
system. New features in findutils-4.3.x are under development; they
may change or go away.
All changes up to and including findutils-4.2.27 are included in this
release. In addition the following changes are new in this release:
** Functional Changes
By default, find now uses the fts() function to search the file
system. The use of fts greatly increases find's ability to search
extremely deep directory hierarchites.
You can tell that the version of find you are using uses FTS, because
the output of "find --version" will include the word "FTS".
Currently two binaries for 'find' are built. The configure option
--without-fts can be used to select whether 'find' uses fts:
With fts Without fts
default configuration find oldfind
configure --with-fts find oldfind
configure --without-fts ftsfind find
New tests, -readable, -writable, -executable. These check that a file
can be read, written or executed respectively.
* Major changes in release 4.2.27, 2005-12-06
** Warnings of Future Changes
The test -perm /000 currently matches no files, but for greater
consistency with -perm -000, this will be changed to match all files;
this change will probably be made in early 2006. Meanwhile, a warning
message is given if you do this.
** Bug Fixes
If xargs is invoked with many short arguments on PPC systems running
the Linux kernel, we no longer get an "argument list too long" error
from the operating system.
Fixed a bug in the test suite which caused it to spuriously fail on
systems where ARG_MAX is different to the value used by the Linux
kernel on 32-bit x86-architecture systems.
On systems running the Linux kernel, "find -printf %F" no longer
produces the wrong answer for files on filesystems that have been
remounted elsewhere using "mount --bind". (Savannah bug #14921).
** Documentation Changes
Following some extensive and detailed review comments from Aaron
Hawley, the material in the manual pages and the Texinfo manual are
now synchronised.
The %M format specifier of "find -printf" is now documented, although
it has existed since release 4.2.5.
The 'find' manual page now correctly documents the fact that -regex
defaults to using Emacs-style regular expressions (though this can be
changed).
* Major changes in release 4.2.26, 2005-11-19
** Public Service Announcements
I'd like to point out a second time that the interpretation of '-perm
+mode' has changed to be more POSIX-compliant. If you want the old
behaviour of the GNU extension you should use '-perm /mode'. See the
NEWS entry for findutils version 4.2.21 for details.
** Functional Changes
The xargs command now supports a new option (--delimiter) which allows
input items to be separated by characters other than null and
whitespace. This resolves Savannah support request sr #102914.
Sometimes find needs to read the /etc/mtab file (or perform the
equivalent operation on systems not using /etc/mtab). If this
information is needed but not available, find now exits with an error
message non-zero status. If the information is not needed, find will
not spuriously fail.
A new xargs option --delimiter allows the input delimiter to be
changed (previously \0 was the only choice unless you use the -L
option, which changes other semantics too).
** Bug Fixes
If the environment size is too large to allow xargs to operate
normally, 'xargs --help' still works (now).
If the input to xargs is a large number of very short options (for
example, one character each), earlier versions of xargs would fail
with 'Argument list too long'. However, since this is precisely the
problem that xargs was invented to solve, this is a bug. Hence on
those systems we now correctly use a shorter command line. This
problem particularly affected 64-bit Linux systems because of the
larger size of pointers, although 32-bit Linux systems were also
affected (albeit for longer command lines). In theory the same
problem could affect 'find -exec {} +', but that's much less likely
(even so, the bug is fixed there too).
Bugfix for an unusual failure mode (Savannah bug #14842) where an
attempt to allocate more space for directory contents succeeds but is
incorrectly diagnosed as a failure. The likelihood of you
experiencing this depends on your architecture, operating system and
resource limits. This failure has been observed in a directory
containing 35396 entries.
** Documentation Changes
The EXAMPLES section of the find manual page now correctly describes
the symbolic and octal modes for the -perm test.
The documentation and "--help" usage information for the -L, -l, -I
and -i options have been clarified (but the behaviour has not changed).
The documentation now explains more clearly what happens when you use
"-L -type l".
* Major changes in release 4.2.25, 2005-09-03
** Bug Fixes
find -perm /440 (which should succeed if a file is readable by its
owner or group) now works. Previously there was a bug which caused
this to be treated as "find -perm 440".
Some files in the xargs test suite have been renamed to avoid problems
on operating systems whoch cannot distinguish filenames on the basis
of upper/lower case distinctions.
The software now builds on Cygwin, including the generated file
regexprops.texi.
Findutils should now build once again on systems supporting AFS, but
this support has not recently been fully tested. Findutils should
also (once again) build on Cygwin.
** Other Changes
The test suite for find is now much more extensive.
* Major changes in release 4.2.24, 2005-07-29
** Documentation Changes
The manual now includes a "Worked Examples" section which talks about
the various ways in which findutils can be used to perform common
tasks, and why some of these alternatives are better than others.
The -I option of xargs (which is required by the POSIX standard) is
now documented.
We now document the fact that find ensures that commands run by -ok
and -okdir don't steal find's input. Find does this by redirecting
the command's standard input from stdin.
Many documentation readability enhancements and proofreading fixes

** Functional Changes
*** Functional changes in locate
The "--regex" option of locate now assumes the regular expression to
be in the same syntax as is used in GNU Emacs, though this can be
changed with the new option --regextype. This is a change from the
existing behaviour (which was to use POSIX Basic Regular Expressions).
Since this feature is releatively new anyway, I though it was more
useful to have compatibility between regular expression handling in
find and locate than to maintain the short-lived previous behaviour of
locate.
The locate program now also supports a "--regextype" long option which
controls which regular expression syntax is understood by locate.
This is a long option and has no single-letter 'short option'
equivalent.
*** Functional changes in find
The regular expression syntax understood by "find" can be changed with
the -regextype option; this option is positional, meaning that you can
have several tests, each using a distinct syntax (this is not
recommended practice however).
The default regular expression syntax is substantially the same as
that recognised by GNU Emacs, except for the fact that "." will match
a newline.
The leaf optimisation can be disabled with the configure option
"--disable-leaf-optimisation", which is equivalent to specifying
"-noleaf" on all find command lines. This is useful for systems
having filesystems which do not provide traditional Unix behaviour for
the link count on directories (for example Cygwin and the Solaris 9
HSFS implementation).
** Bug Fixes
*** Bug Fixes for find
The -iregex test now works once again on systems that lack
re_search() (that is, systems on which findutils needs to use the
gnulib version of this function).
find -regex now once again uses GNU Emacs-compatible regular
expressions.
If invoked with stderr closed, the -fprint and -fprintf actions now no
longer cause error messages to be sent into the output file.
If the link count of a directory is less that two, the leaf
optimisation is now disabled for that directory. This should allow
searching of non-Unix filesystems to be more reliable on systems that
don't take the trouble to make their filesystems look like traditional
Unix filesystems. Some filesystems don't even take the trouble to
have a link count of less than two and for these, -noleaf is still
required unless --disable-leaf-optimisation was used at configure time.
The "%Y" directive for the -printf action now no longer changes find's
idea of the mode of the file, so this means among other things that
"-printf %Y %y" now works properly. This is Savannah bug #13973.
* Major changes in release 4.2.23, 2005-06-19
** Documentation Changes
The -L and -I options of xargs are currently incompatible (but should
not be).
Improved the documentation for -execdir and -okdir.
** Functional Changes to updatedb
File names ending in "/" which are specified as an argument to
--prunepaths (or in $PRUNEPATHS) don't work, so we now issue an error
message if the user tries to do that. The obvious exception of course
is "/" which does work and is not rejected.
* Major changes in release 4.2.22, 2005-06-12
** Security Fixes
If a directory entry searched with "find -L" is a symbolic link to
".", we no longer loop indefinitely. This problem affected find
versions 4.2.19, 4.2.20 and 4.2.21. This problem allows users to make
"find" loop indefinitely. This is in effect a denial of service and
could be used to prevent updates to the locate database or to defeat
file security checks based on find. However, it should be noted that
you should not use "find -L" in security-sensitive scenarios.
** Other Bug Fixes
None in this release.
** Functional Changes to locate
A locate database can now be supplied on stdin, using '-' as a element
of the database-path. If more than one database-path element is '-',
later instances are ignored.
A new option to locate, '--all' ('-A') causes matches to be limited to
entries which match all given patterns, not entries which match
one or more patterns.
** Documentation Changes
Some typos in the manual pages have been fixed. Various parts of the
manual now point out that it is good practice to quote the argument of
"-name". The manpage now has a "NON-BUGS" section which explains some
symptoms that look like bugs but aren't. The explanations of the "%k"
and "%b" directives to "find -printf" have been imrpoved.
* Major changes in release 4.2.21, 2005-06-07
** Functional Changes to find
The GNU extension "find ... -perm +MODE" has been withdrawn because it
is incompatible with POSIX in obscure cases like "find ... -perm ++r".
Use the new syntax "find ... -perm /MODE" instead. Old usages will
still continue to work, so long as they don't conflict with POSIX.
If the output is going to a terminal, the -print, -fprint, -printf and
-fprintf actions now quote "unusual" characters to prevent unwanted
effects on the terminal. See "Unusual Characters in File Names" for
further details. There is no change to the behaviour when the output
is not going to a terminal. The locate program does the same thing,
unless the -0 option is in effect (in which case the filenames are
printed as-is).
** Functional Changes to locate
The locate command will now read each locate database at most once.
This means that if you are using multiple databases and are searching
for more than one name, the results will now be printed in a different
order (and if you specified a small limit with --limit, you may get a
different set of results).
A new option '--print' for locate causes it to print the matching
results even if the '--count' or '--statistics' option is in effect.
** Bug Fixes
find /blah/blah/blah -depth -empty now works once again.
The -regex and -iregex tests of find now correctly accept POSIX Basic
Regular Expressions. (Savannah bug #12999)
The updatedb program now works on systems where "su" does not support
the "-s" option, for example Solaris.
* Major changes in release 4.2.20, 2005-03-17
** Internationalization and Localization
Updated Vietnamese and Dutch translations.
** Bug Fixes
Minor bugfix affecting only those who compile from the CVS repository,
as opposed to those who compile from the source releases.
* Major changes in release 4.2.19, 2005-03-07
** Bug Fixes
find should now no longer hang on systems which lack the O_NOFOLLOW
flag to open(2) and which are clients of an unresponsive NFS server
(Savannah bug #12044).
We now avoid inappropriately failing for "find -L foo" or "find -H
foo" if foo is a symbolic link (Savannah bug #12181). Previously we
used to fail with the error message "Too many levels of symbolic
links".
"find . -false -exec foo {} +" no longer runs an extra instance of foo
when find exits (Savannah bug #12230).
If the chdir() safety check fails but we can no longer get back to
where we started, exit with an explanatory (fatal) error message.
This does not happen on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD because the safety check
is not needed (the security problem the safety check protects against
is prevented in a cleaner way on those systems).
"make distclean" no longer deletes regex.c (which "make all" needs).
** Functionality Changes
"find -printf "%h\n" will now print "." for files in the current directory.
Previously it printed nothing (but there was a bug in the %h
implementation anyway). This fixes Savannah bug #12085.
Should now build (again) on non-C99-compliant systems.
** Documentation enhancements
Fixed some typos and clarified wording in "Working with automounters".
** Internationalization and Localization
New Vietnamese message translation.
* Major changes in release 4.2.18, 2005-02-16
** Bug Fixes
*** "find -depth" was missing out non-leaf directories when they contain
non-directories. This affected findutils releases 4.2.15,
4.2.16 and 4.2.17, but the bug is now fixed.
*** Find no longer hangs on systems which are clients of unresponsive
NFS servers.
** Documentation improvements
*** Improvements and corrections to the find.1 manpage, including corrections to the descriptions of -H and -L.
* Major changes in release 4.2.17, 2005-02-08
** Bug Fixes
*** bug #11861 undefined symbol "basename" on IRIX 5.3
*** bug #11865 xargs -i regression (as compared to findutils-4.2.12)
*** bug #11866 Typo in pred_okdir renders it useless (affecting 4.2.16 only)
*** patch #3723 fix recent process_top_path change (for -execdir on /)
*** Fixing bug #11866 and applying patch #3723 made -execdir work much better.
*** find bar/baz/ugh now works again if baz is a symbolic link (broken
in 4.2.15).
* Major changes in release 4.2.16, 2005-02-05
** Functionality Changes
*** Updated the message catalogues for the translated messages.
*** The subfs filesystem is now treated the same as the autofs
filesystem is.
*** New translations: Belarusian, Catalan, Greek, Esperanto,
Finnish, Irish, Croatian, Hungarian, Japanese, Luganda,
Malay, Romanian, Slovenian, Serbian, Chinese (simplified).
** Bug Fixes
*** The -execdir action now works correctly for files named on the
command line.
* Major changes in release 4.2.15, 2005-01-29
** Functionality Changes
*** locate now supports matching regular expression (--regex).
*** --enable-d_type-optimization (introduced in findutils 4.2.13) is now turned on by default.
* Major changes in release 4.2.14, 2005-01-25
** Functionality Changes
*** New options -L, -P, -H for locate. The work in the same was as the same options for find.
** Bug Fixes
*** Don't include the "findutils/find/testsuite/find.gnu" subdirectory in the
distributed tar file more than once.
*** Should now build on Solaris once again.
*** -xtype and -printf %Y now work correctly for symbolic links once again
** Documentation improvements
*** All options for "locate" are now documented
* Major changes in release 4.2.13, 2005-01-23
** Performance Enhancements
*** On Linux and some other systems, a large performance improvement,
because we can eliminate many of the calls to lstat() (in extreme
cases, 99% of them). Limited testing shows a 2x speedup on NFS
filesystems. Other systems which can make use of this enhancement
include Mac OS X and *BSD.
* Major changes in release 4.2.12, 2005-01-22
** Functionality Changes
*** find is now POSIX-compliant, as far as I know.
*** -exec ... {} + now works.
*** New actions -execdir and -okdir which are like -exec and -ok but more secure.
*** "locate -w" is now a synonym for "locate --wholepath".
*** An empty path entry in the locate database path (for example "::" in
$LOCATE_PATH or in the argument to "locate -d") is taken to mean
the default database, whose name is hard-coded in locate.
** Bug Fixes
*** If find or xargs cannot write to stdout, for example because
output is redirected to a file and the disk is full, the
relevant program will return a non-zero exit status.
* Major changes in release 4.2.11, 2004-12-12
** Bug Fixes
*** Compilation fix for systems without EOVERFLOW.
*** More helpful error message if you make a mistake with (, ), -o or -a.
** Functionality Changes
*** If you have unclosed parentheses on the find command line,
or any of a number of similar problems, find will now produce
a more helpful error message.
*** locate -b is now a synonym for locate --basename
*** locate now supports a --statistics (or -S) option, which prints some
statistics about the locate databases.
*** Implemented the -samefile option.
** Documentation improvements
*** New chapter in the manual, "Security Considerations".
*** Better documentation for -prune (Mainly thanks to Stepan Kasal)
** Bug Fixes
*** locate's options -i and -w now work with the -e option (previously a bug
prevented this).
* Major changes in release 4.2.10, 2004-12-06
** Bug Fixes
*** Portability fix for fstype.c: should now compile on UNICOS, and possibly
also produce useful results on BeOS and Dolphin, perhaps other
systems too.
* Major changes in release 4.2.9, 2004-12-05
** Functionality Changes
*** xargs no longer treats a line containing only an underscore as a logical end-of-file. To obtain the behaviour that was previously the default, use "-E_".
*** xargs now supports the POSIX options -E, -I and -L. These are synonyms
for the existing options -e, -i and -l, but the latter three are
now deprecated.
** Bug Fixes
*** xargs -n NUM now invokes a command as soon as it has NUM arguments.
Previously, it waited until NUM+1 items had been read, and then
invoked the command with NUM arguments, saving the remaining one
for next time.
*** If "find -L" discovers a symbolic link loop, an error message is issued.
*** If you specify a directory on the find command line, but -prune
is applied to it, find will no longer chdir() into it anyway.
** Documentation improvements
*** The precise interpretation of the arguments to the -atime, -ctime
and similar tests in find has been documented more clearly.
* Major changes in release 4.2.8, 2004-11-24
*** Bugfix to the findutils 4.2.7 automount handling on Solaris. This
worked to some extent in findutils-4.2.7, but is much improved in
findutils-4.2.8.
* Major changes in release 4.2.7, 2004-11-21
** Functionality Changes
*** xargs can now read a list of arguments from a named file, allowing
the invoked program to use the same stdin as xargs started with
(for example ``xargs --arg-file=todo emacs'').
** Documentation improvements
*** The Texinfo manual now has an extra chapter, "Error Messages". Most
error messages are self-explanatory, but some of the ones which
are not are explained in this chapter.
** Bug Fixes
*** Avoid trying to link against -lsun on UNICOS, which doesn't need it or
have it.
*** Bugfix to the findutils 4.2.6 automount handling (which hadn't been enabled
on Solaris).
*** Reenabled internationalisation support (which had been accidentally
disabled in findutils-4.2.5).
* Major changes in release 4.2.6, 2004-11-21
** Bug Fixes
*** find now copes rather better when a directory appears to change just as
it is about to start examining it, which happens with automount.
This is because automount mounts filesystems as you change
directory into them. This should resolve Savannah bugs #3998,
#9043.
* Major changes in release 4.2.5, 2004-11-11
** Functionality Changes
*** The POSIX options -H and -L are supported. These control whether or not
find will follow symbolic links.
*** The BSD option -P is also now supported (though in any case
it is the default).
** Documentation improvements
*** Better documentation for "xargs -i".
** Bug Fixes
*** "make install" now respects DESTDIR when generating localstatedir.
(this is only relevant if you are installing to some location
other than the one that you indictaed when you ran "configure").
*** Compatible with automake versions 1.8 and 1.9.
*** Build problems on UNICOS now fixed, though the linker will still generate
warnings because we try to link with the nonexistent library
"-lsun". Edit $(LIBS) to work around this problem.
* Major changes in release 4.2.4, 2004-11-08
** Functionality Changes
*** If your system sort command has a working "-z" option, updatedb will
now correctly handle newline characters in filenames (as will
locate).
*** xargs now uses 128Kb of command line by default (less if the system
doesn't support that much).
*** If you specify a 'find' option after non-option, a warning message
is now issued. Options should be specified immediately after the
list of paths to search. These warnings are enabled if you
specify the -warn option, or if stdin is a tty. They are diabled
by the use of the -nowarn option.
*** Like find, the locate program now supports an option --null (short form -0)
which changes the result separator from newline to NULL.
*** Locate supports the option -c (long form --count) which suppresses normal
output but prints on stdout the number of results produced (like
grep -c).
*** Locate supports the option -l (long form --limit) which limits the
number of results. This is useful if you only want to find out if
there are copies of a certain file on the system, but don't want
to wait for the entire locate database to be searched.
*** Locate now has an option --basename which forces the specified pattern to
be matched against the basename of the entries in the locate
database, rather than the whole name. The default behaviour
(matching against the whole name of the file including all the
parent directory names) corresponds to the option --wholename.
*** updatedb has a new option, --findoptions, that can be used to
pass extra options through to the find command that it uses.
** Bug Fixes
*** "find -printf '%H\n'" now works (rather than segfaulting) on
systems that have non-writable string constants.
*** Better POSIX compliance for the -s option to xargs (out of range
values should just result in bounding to the correct range, not an
error, so now we just print a warning message and adjust the
value).
*** Corrected section numbers of manual page cross-references
* Major changes in release 4.2.3, 2004-10-30
** Functionality Changes
*** Added new action -delete which deletes things that find matches.
*** Added new action -quit which causes find to exit immediately.
*** A new format directive '%D' for "find -printf" prints the device number.
*** The -ls predicate no longer truncates user or group names.
*** Added new option "-d" which is a synonym for "-depth" for compatibility
with Mac OS, OpenBSD and FreeBSD. This option is already
deprecated since the POSIX standard specifies "-depth".
*** Added two new format specifiers to the -printf action; these are
%y and %Y. They indicate the type of the file as a single letter;
these are the same latters as are used by the "-type" test.
*** If a parent directory changes during the execution of find,
the error message we issue identifies the nature of the change
(for example the previous and current inode numbers of the
directory we've just returned out of).
** Other Changes
*** Non-functional code changes to silence compiler warnings.
* Major changes in release 4.2.2, 2004-10-24
** Documentation improvements
*** "find ... -exec {}+" is not yet supported.
** Bug Fixes
*** Fixed compilation problems on Solaris, RedHat EL AS 2.1, Irix, AIX
*** Work around possible compiler bug on HP-UX 11.23 for ia64
*** The built-in internationalisation support now works again.
** Other Changes
*** We now import the gnulib source in the way it is intended to be used,
which means among other things that we only have one config.h file
now.
*** Functions which findutils requires but which are not present in
gnulib are now defined in "libfind.a". This is in the lib
directory, while gnulib is in the gnulib subdirectory.
*** Fixed a typo in the address of the FSF in many of the file headers.
* Major changes in release 4.2.1, 2004-10-17
** Bug Fixes
*** 'find -name \*bar now matches .foobar, because the POSIX standard
requires it, as explained at
http://standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/interp/1003-2-92_int/pasc-1003.2-126.html
* Major changes in release 4.2.1, 2004-10-17
** Bug Fixes
*** find -iname now works correctly on systems that have an fnmatch() function
that does not support FNM_CASEFOLD
*** updatedb now uses signal names for "trap" instead of numbers,
as per bug #9465 (see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/trap.html)
*** Better support for systems lacking intmax_t
** Other Changes
**** findutils now uses a newer version of gnulib (dated 2004-10-17).
* Major changes in release 4.2.0, 2003-06-14
** Functionality Changes
*** xargs now works better when the environment variables are very extensive.
The xargs command used to run into difficulties if the environment
data contained more than 20480 bytes.
*** New options -wholename and -iwholename
As per the GNU Projecvt coding standard, These are preferred over
the -path and -ipath options. Using -ipath now generates a warning,
though -path does not (since HPUX also offers -path).
*** The environment variable FIND_BLOCK_SIZE is now ignored.
*** New option "-ignore_readdir_race"
silences an error messages which would otherwise occur if a file is removed
after find has read it from the directory using readdir(), but before
find stats the file. There is also an option
-noignore_readdir_race which has the opposite effect.
** Documentation improvements
*** The -size option of find is now documented in more detail
*** POSIX compliance and GNU extensions
The find manual page also now includes a section
which describes the relationship between the features of GNU
find and the POSIX standard. Some other small improvements
to the find and xargs manual pages have been made.
*** The argument to the -fprintf directive is now better documented.
The escape code '\0' for the `-printf' predicate of find is now
documented, and the documentation for the %k and %b specifiers
has been improved.
*** xargs -i is now more clearly documented.
** Bug Fixes
*** locate 'pa*d' will now find /etc/passwd (if it exists, of course)
*** xargs standard input is not inherited by child processes
If the command invoked by xargs reads from its standard input,
it now gets nothing, as opposed to stealing data from the
list of files that xargs is trying to read.
*** Better support for 64-bit systems.
*** The command "xargs -i -n1" now works as one might expect,
I think this is a strange thing to want to do.
*** Arguments to find -mtime that are too large are now diagnosed
Previously, this just used to cause find just to do the wrong thing.
*** updatedb is now somewhat more robust
The updatedb shell script now does not generate an empty
database if it fails.
*** Sanity-check on some data read from locatedb
Locate now detects some types of file corruption in the
locate database.
*** The %k format specifier for -fprintf now works
This was broken in 4.1.20.
* Major changes in release 4.1.20, 2003-06-14:
** New maintainer, James Youngman
** As far as I know, this is the first release after 4.1.7, but I've left
a gap just in case.
** We now use an "imported" version of gnulib, rather than including
a copy of the gnulib code in our CVS repository. There are no
differences in the build instructions, though (unless you are
building directly from CVS, in which case please read the file
README-CVS).
** There are no (deliberate) functional changes in version 4.1.20.
* Major changes in release 4.1.7, 2001-05-20:
fix problem so that default "-print" is added when "-prune" is used.
security fixes related to directories changing while find is executing.
* Major changes in release 4.1.6, 2000-10-10:
correct bug in prune.
added --ignore-case option for locate
* Major changes in release 4.1.5, 2000-04-12:
Add support for large files
* Major changes in release 4.1.4, 2000-02-26:
bug fixes, more up-to-date languages.
* Major changes in release 4.1.3, 2000-01-27:
added internationalization and localization.
* Major changes in release 4.1.2, 2000-01-18:
None.
* Major changes in release 4.1.1, 1999-08-8:
attempt at successful compilation on many platforms after years of neglect
"--existing" option added to locate "--prunefs" option added to updatedb
* Major changes in release 4.1, 1994-11-3:
** Distribution renamed to findutils.
** updatedb is now a user command, installed in $exec_prefix/bin
instead of $exec_prefix/libexec.
** A few problems in Makefiles and testsuite corrected.
* Major changes in release 4.0, 1994-11-2:
** Documentation:
*** Texinfo manual.
*** Man page for updatedb.
*** Man page for the locate database formats.
** find:
*** Takes less CPU time on long paths, because it uses chdir to descend
trees, so it does fewer inode lookups.
*** Does not get trapped in symbolic link loops when -follow is given.
*** Supports "-fstype afs" if you have /afs and /usr/afsws/include
and you configure using the --with-afs option.
*** New action -fls FILE; like -ls but writes to FILE.
** locate:
*** Supports a new database format, which is 8-bit clean and
allows machines with different byte orderings and integer sizes to
share the databases. The new locate can also detect and read the
old database format automatically. The new databases are typically
30% or more larger than the old ones (due to allowing all 8 bits in
file names). Search times are approximately the same, or faster on
some systems.
*** Warns if a file name database is more than 8 days old.
** updatedb:
*** Takes command-line options.
** xargs:
*** Performance improved 10-20%.
*** The EOF string is not used when -0 is given.
*** Now has a test suite. Some minor bugs fixed as a result.
* Major changes in release 3.8, 1993-03-29:
** case insensitive versions of -lname, -name, -path, -regex:
-ilname, -iname, -ipath, -iregex
** %F directive for -printf, -fprintf to print file system type
* Major changes in release 3.7:
** locate can search multiple databases
** locate has an option to specify the database path
** updatedb no longer goes into an infinite loop with some versions of tail
* No NEWS was kept for earlier releases. Known release dates include:
** release 3.2, 1991-08-28

Preamble
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
software and other kinds of works.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
know their rights.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
authors of previous versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions.
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
works, such as semiconductor masks.
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
on the Program.
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
form of a work.
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
is widely used among developers working in that language.
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
it, and giving a relevant date.
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
released under this License and any conditions added under section
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
"keep intact all notices".
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
with subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
included in conveying the object code work.
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
the only significant mode of use of the product.
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
unpacking, reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
authors of the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
the above requirements apply either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
material under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
work and works based on it.
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
combination as such.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
Copyright (C)
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program. If not, see .
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Copyright (C)
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
.
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
.

* -fstype core dumps on sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3_U1 with gcc-2.95.2
This is on foxtrot.rahul.net. dbx does not work on compiled find.
Perhaps gcc is installed incorrectly. "find / -fstype ufs" core dumps
quickly. cc works correctly.
* Speed of locate without "-i" option needs to be increased.
* Internationalization
** updatedb.sh should be internationalized
* Eliminate unnecessary strcpy calls in xargs.
* man pages for frcode, bigram, and code
Perhaps a better description in texi pages as well.
* Add option for find to sort output in lexical order for use for updatedb
olarsac@airfrance.fr (Olivier) made the following suggestion:
As I was running thru the code looking for the bug I wondered why the updatedb
has to use sort...
why not add an option to find that sorts the output in lexical order?
my point is:
- sort on a big list is costly (here we do locate on big big file system)
- find may (in theory) sort incrementally very easily by sorting only the current
directory entries before recursion
* large file problems
depcomp gets added by automake
* investigate _LIBC when used with TOLOWER and TOUPPER
_LIBC is used to determine whether TOLOWER should check isupper first.
Is there something better to check? Alternatively, can tolower be
checked at run time to determine whether isupper should be called first.
* BeOS problems with multibyte
Bruno Haible reported problems with BeOS.
* Include example of use of updatedb in documentation.
Use something close to the Debian daily cron job.
* Supply example for time range commands for find.
