2015-04-20Revert "xz: Use pipe2() if available."Lasse Collin1-8/+1
This reverts commit 7a11c4a8e5e15f13d5fa59233b3172e65428efdd. It is a problem when libc has pipe2() but the kernel is too old to have pipe2() and thus pipe2() fails. In xz it's pointless to have a fallback for non-functioning pipe2(); it's better to avoid pipe2() completely. Thanks to Michael Fox for the bug report.
2015-02-22xz: Use pipe2() if available.Lasse Collin1-1/+8
2015-02-21xz: Fix the fcntl() usage when creating a pipe for the self-pipe trick.Lasse Collin1-5/+11
Now it reads the old flags instead of blindly setting O_NONBLOCK. The old code may have worked correctly, but this is better.
2015-01-09xz: Fix comments.Lasse Collin1-4/+8
2015-01-09xz: Don't fail if stdout doesn't support O_NONBLOCK.Lasse Collin1-21/+15
This is similar to the case with stdin. Thanks to Brad Smith for the bug report and testing on OpenBSD.
2015-01-07xz: Fix a memory leak in DOS-specific code.Lasse Collin1-0/+2
2015-01-07xz: Don't fail if stdin doesn't support O_NONBLOCK.Lasse Collin1-11/+7
It's a problem at least on OpenBSD which doesn't support O_NONBLOCK on e.g. /dev/null. I'm not surprised if it's a problem on other OSes too since this behavior is allowed in POSIX-1.2008. The code relying on this behavior was committed in June 2013 and included in 5.1.3alpha released on 2013-10-26. Clearly the development releases only get limited testing.
2013-09-17xz: Add a missing test for TUKLIB_DOSLIKE.Lasse Collin1-0/+2
2013-07-04xz: Add preliminary support for --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT.Lasse Collin1-10/+36
When --flush-timeout=TIMEOUT is used, xz will use LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH if read() would block and at least TIMEOUT milliseconds has elapsed since the previous flush. This can be useful in realtime-like use cases where the data is simultanously decompressed by another process (possibly on a different computer). If new uncompressed input data is produced slowly, without this option xz could buffer the data for a long time until it would become decompressible from the output. If TIMEOUT is 0, the feature is disabled. This is the default. This commit affects the compression side. Using xz for the decompression side for the above purpose doesn't work yet so well because there is quite a bit of input and output buffering when decompressing. The --long-help or man page were not updated yet. The details of this feature may change.
2013-07-04xz: Don't set src_eof=true after an I/O error because it's useless.Lasse Collin1-3/+0
2013-07-01xz: Silence a warning seen with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.Lasse Collin1-1/+7
Thanks to Christian Hesse.
2013-06-29xz: Use non-blocking I/O for the output file.Lasse Collin1-8/+49
Now both reading and writing should be without race conditions with signals. They might still be signal handling issues left. Signals are blocked during many operations to avoid EINTR but it may cause problems e.g. if writing to stderr blocks when trying to display an error message.
2013-06-28xz: Fix return value type in io_write_buf().Lasse Collin1-1/+1
It didn't affect the behavior of the code since -1 becomes true anyway.
2013-06-28xz: Use the self-pipe trick to avoid a race condition with signals.Lasse Collin1-12/+44
It is possible that a signal to set user_abort arrives right before a blocking system call is made. In this case the call may block until another signal arrives, while the wanted behavior is to make xz clean up and exit as soon as possible. After this commit, the race condition is avoided with the input side which already uses non-blocking I/O. The output side still uses blocking I/O and thus has the race condition.
2013-06-28xz: Use non-blocking I/O for the input file.Lasse Collin1-45/+111
2013-06-28xz: Remove an outdated NetBSD-specific comment.Lasse Collin1-4/+0
Nowadays errno == EFTYPE is documented in open(2).
2013-06-28xz: Fix error detection of fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags) calls.Lasse Collin1-4/+4
POSIX says that fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags) returns -1 on error and "other than -1" on success. This is how it is documented e.g. on OpenBSD too. On Linux, success with F_SETFL is always 0 (at least accorinding to fcntl(2) from man-pages 3.51).
2013-06-28xz: Fix use of wrong variable in a fcntl() call.Lasse Collin1-11/+13
Due to a wrong variable name, when writing a sparse file to standard output, *all* file status flags were cleared (to the extent the operating system allowed it) instead of only clearing the O_APPEND flag. In practice this worked fine in the common situations on GNU/Linux, but I didn't check how it behaved elsewhere. The original flags were still restored correctly. I still changed the code to use a separate boolean variable to indicate when the flags should be restored instead of relying on a special value in stdout_flags.
2013-06-28xz: Fix assertion related to posix_fadvise().Lasse Collin1-8/+2
Input file can be a FIFO or something else that doesn't support posix_fadvise() so don't check the return value even with an assertion. Nothing bad happens if the call to posix_fadvise() fails.
2011-05-01xz: Fix input file position when --single-stream is used.Lasse Collin1-0/+15
Now the following works as you would expect: echo foo | xz > foo.xz echo bar | xz >> foo.xz ( xz -dc --single-stream ; xz -dc --single-stream ) < foo.xz Note that it doesn't work if the input is not seekable or if there is Stream Padding between the concatenated .xz Streams.
2011-04-12Remove doubled words from documentation and comments.Lasse Collin1-1/+1
Spot candidates by running these commands: git ls-files |xargs perl -0777 -n \ -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt]o)\s+\1\b/gims)' \ -e '{$n=($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1); ($v=$&)=~s/\n/\\n/g; print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n"}' Thanks to Jim Meyering for the original patch.
2011-04-10xz/DOS: Be more careful with the destination file.Lasse Collin1-2/+33
Try to avoid overwriting the source file if --force is used and the generated destination filename refers to the source file. This can happen with 8.3 filenames where extra characters are ignored. If the generated output file refers to a special file like "con" or "prn", refuse to write to it even if --force is used.
2011-04-09xz: Avoid unneeded fstat() on DOS-like systems.Lasse Collin1-6/+8
2011-04-05xz: Use posix_fadvise() if it is available.Lasse Collin1-0/+15
2011-01-26xz: Fix --force on setuid/setgid/sticky and multi-hardlink files.Lasse Collin1-8/+7
xz didn't compress setuid/setgid/sticky files and files with multiple hard links even with --force. This bug was introduced in 23ac2c44c3ac76994825adb7f9a8f719f78b5ee4. Thanks to Charles Wilson.
2010-09-06xz: Improve a comment.Lasse Collin1-3/+4
2010-09-05xz: Update the comment about NetBSD in file_io.c.Lasse Collin1-4/+4
Thanks to Joerg Sonnenberger.
2010-02-12Collection of language fixes to comments and docs.Lasse Collin1-1/+1
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder.
2010-02-01Fix compression of symlinks with --force.Lasse Collin1-1/+13
xz --force accepted symlinks, but didn't remove them after successful compression. Instead, an error message was displayed.
2010-01-31Delay opening the destionation file and other fixes.Lasse Collin1-55/+52
The opening of the destination file is now delayed a little. The coder is initialized, and if decompressing, the memory usage of the first Block compared against the memory usage limit before the destination file is opened. This means that if --force was used, the old "target" file won't be deleted so easily when something goes wrong very early. Thanks to Mark K for the bug report. The above fix required some changes to progress message handling. Now there is a separate function for setting and printing the filename. It is used also in list.c. list_file() now handles stdin correctly (gives an error). A useless check for user_abort was removed from file_io.c.
2010-01-27Silence two compiler warnings on DOS-like systems.Lasse Collin1-0/+3
2010-01-26Use past tense in error message in io_unlink().Lasse Collin1-2/+12
Added a note to translators too. Thanks to Robert Readman.
2010-01-24Add io_pread().Lasse Collin1-0/+25
It will be used by --list.
2010-01-13Don't compress or decompress special files unless writingLasse Collin1-5/+10
to stdout even if --force is used. --force will still enable compression of symlinks, but only in case they point to a regular file. The new way simply seems more reasonable. It matches gzip's behavior while the old one matched bzip2's behavior.
2009-12-07Fix file_io.c on DOS-like systems.Lasse Collin1-0/+4
The problem was introduced when adding sparse file support in 465d1b0d6518c5d980f2db4c2d769f9905bdd902. Thanks to Charles Wilson.
2009-11-28Remove duplicate code in io_open_dest().Lasse Collin1-8/+1
Fix a missing _() in the error message too.
2009-11-25Create sparse files by default when decompressing intoLasse Collin1-34/+209
a regular file. Sparse file creation can be disabled with --no-sparse. I don't promise yet that the name of this option won't change before 5.0.0. It's possible that the code, that checks when it is safe to use sparse output on stdout, is not good enough, and a more flexible command line option is needed to configure sparse file handling.
2009-09-24Fix an error in OpenVMS-specific code.Lasse Collin1-1/+1
Thanks to Jouk Jansen.
2009-09-22Better fixes for OpenVMS support.Lasse Collin1-3/+16
Thanks to Jouk Jansen.
2009-09-19Various changes.Lasse Collin1-21/+22
Separate a few reusable components from XZ Utils specific code. The reusable code is now in "tuklib" modules. A few more could be separated still, e.g. bswap.h. Fix some bugs in lzmainfo. Fix physmem and cpucores code on OS/2. Thanks to Elbert Pol for help. Add OpenVMS support into physmem. Add a few #ifdefs to ease building XZ Utils on OpenVMS. Thanks to Jouk Jansen for the original patch.
