Problem reported by Andreas Schwab (Bug#37475).
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Writing to Files)
(Testing Accessibility, Kinds of Files):
Document that accessibility and file-type predicates return nil
if there is trouble determining accessibility or type.
* etc/NEWS: Adjust, and list the affected primitives.
* src/callproc.c (init_callproc): Go back to Ffile_exists_p.
* src/fileio.c (PICKY_EACCES, file_test_errno):
Remove. All uses removed.
(Ffile_name_case_insensitive_p, Ffile_exists_p, Ffile_symlink_p)
(Ffile_directory_p, Ffile_regular_p): Document that these
functions return nil if there is trouble.
(Ffile_name_case_insensitive_p, check_file_access)
(Ffile_writable_p, Ffile_symlink_p, Ffile_directory_p)
(Ffile_accessible_directory_p, Ffile_regular_p)
* src/lread.c (Fload):
Go back to treating trouble in determining the answer as if the
file were missing.
* src/fileio.c (Ffile_newer_than_file_p): Use file_attribute_errno
not file_test_errno, since returning nil is not appropriate when
there are two files to test; e.g., in the rare cases where both
file timestamps have overflowed then neither t nor nil is correct.
Signal an error for file-oriented errors that are not tame
errors like ENOENT and ENOTDIR (Bug#37389).
Do this for primitives exposed to Lisp; the lower
level internal C API merely makes errno values available
to higher-level C code.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Testing Accessibility)
(File Attributes, Extended Attributes): Do not say that the
functions return nil when the return value cannot be determined.
* etc/NEWS: Mention the change.
* src/dired.c (Ffile_attributes): Fix doc string confusion
about opening a file vs getting its attributes.
(file_attributes): Signal serious errors.
* src/fileio.c (check_existing, check_executable)
(check_writable): Remove. All callers changed to use
check_file_access or file_access_p.
(file_access_p, file_metadata_errno, file_attribute_errno)
(file_test_errno, check_file_access, check_emacs_readlinkat):
New functions.
* src/fileio.c (Ffile_executable_p, Ffile_readable_p)
(Ffile_name_case_insensitive_p, Frename_file, Ffile_exists_p):
(Ffile_symlink_p, Ffile_directory_p)
(Ffile_accessible_directory_p, Ffile_regular_p)
(Ffile_selinux_context, Ffile_acl, Ffile_modes)
(Ffile_newer_than_file_p, Fset_visited_file_modtime)
(Ffile_system_info):
* src/filelock.c (unlock_file, Ffile_locked_p):
* src/lread.c (Fload):
Signal serious errors.
* src/fileio.c (Ffile_writable_p): Remove unnecessary CHECK_STRING.
(emacs_readlinkat): Now static.
* src/filelock.c (current_lock_owner, lock_if_free): Return a
positive errno on error, and the negative of the old old value
on success. All callers changed.
* src/lread.c (openp): Propagate serious errno values to caller.
Fit in better with the XDG conventions.
Something like this was suggested in 2008 (Bug#583)
and the XDG conventions seem to have settled down by now.
* doc/emacs/custom.texi (Init File, Init Syntax, Find Init):
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Standard File Names):
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Init File):
* doc/misc/url.texi (Customization):
* etc/NEWS:
Adjust accordingly.
* lisp/startup.el (startup--load-user-init-file):
If init-file-name is nil, do not load from it; instead
just use the alt-file.
(find-init-path): Remove; no longer used.
(command-line): Don't check twice for XDG.
Look at XDG_CONFIG_HOME instead of assuming it's ~/.config.
Prefer XDG configuration if it exists; the user can disable
this by setting XDG_CONFIG_HOME to some other place.
* lisp/subr.el (user-emacs-directory):
Prefer XDG configuration if it exists.
Derived from Ken Brown’s patch (Bug#36502#97).
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Relative File Names):
* etc/NEWS: Document this.
* src/fileio.c (user_homedir): New function.
(Fexpand_file_name, file_name_absolute_p): Use it.
(search_embedded_absfilename): Simplify via file_name_absolute_p.
* test/src/fileio-tests.el (fileio-tests--no-such-user): New test.
* lisp/files.el (directory-files-recursively): Take an optional
PREDICATE parameter (bug#28567).
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Contents of Directories): Document it.
