earlier, and more gracefully. Previously, this combination would be
ignored early in the code where permissions are tested and fail later
with a very unhelpful "permission denied" error.
Instead, test for this flag in the same block that generates the
"override?" messages for read-only files, but instead of trying
to guess what the user has in mind, generate an error and exit.
Update the man page to reflect this new behavior.

termination with set -e if a command fails in a loop body inside a function
with an explicitely tested exit status, eg
f() {
for i in 1 2 3; do
false
done
}
f || true
Briefly reviewed by: cracauer
two cases of unwanted termination with set -e:
* if-commands containing several commands separated by semicolons, eg
if false; false; then [...]
* functions with an explicitely tested exit status that contain a failing
command which is not the last one, eg
f() {
false
false
}
f || true

and linting procedure:
1. Remove useless sub-expression:
- if (*start || (!ifsspc && start > string && (nulonly || 1))) {
+ if (*start || (!ifsspc && start > string)) {
The sub-expression "(nulonly || 1)" always evaluates to true and
according to CVS logs seems to be just a left-over from some
debugging and introduced by accident. Removing the sub-expression
doesn't change semantics and a code inspection showed that the
variable "nulonly" is also not necessary here in any way (and the
expression would require fixing instead of removing).
2. Remove dead code:
- if (backslash && c == '\\') {
- if (read(STDIN_FILENO, &c, 1) != 1) {
- status = 1;
- break;
- }
- STPUTC(c, p);
- } else if (ap[1] != NULL && strchr(ifs, c) != NULL) {
+ if (ap[1] != NULL && strchr(ifs, c) != NULL) {
Inspection of the control and data flow showed that variable
"backslash" is always false (0) when the "if"-expression is
evaluated, hence the whole block is effectively dead code.
Additionally, the skipping of characters after a backslash is already
performed correctly a few lines above, so this code is also not
needed at all. According to the CVS logs and the ASH 0.2 sources,
this code existed in this way already since its early days.
3. Cleanup Style:
- ! trap[signo][0] == '\0' &&
+ ! (trap[signo][0] == '\0') &&
The expression wants to ensure the trap is not assigned the empty
string. But the "!" operator has higher precedence than "==", so the
comparison should be put into parenthesis to form the intended way of
expression. Nevertheless the code was effectively not really broken
as both particular NUL comparisons are semantically equal, of course.
But the parenthesized version is a lot more intuitive.
4. Remove shadowing variable declaration:
- char *q;
The declaration of symbol "q" hides another identical declaration of
"q" in the same context. As the other "q" is already reused multiple
times and also can be reused again without negative side-effects,
just remove the shadowing declaration.
5. Just small cosmetics:
- if (ifsset() != 0)
+ if (ifsset())
The ifsset() macro is already coded by returning the boolean result
of a comparison operator, so no need to compare this boolean result
again against a numerical value. This also aligns the macros usage to
the remaining existing code.

This includes adding support for ACLs into cp(1) and mv(1) userspace
utilities.
For mv(1), if _PC_ACL_EXTENDED is in effect for the source AND destination
operands, the destination file's ACLs shall reflect the source.
For cp(1), if _PC_ACL_EXTENDED is in effect for both source and destination
operands, and -p has been specified, the ACLs from the source shall be
preserved on the destination.

sort(1). This functionality is provided by the -S option now, and it
is useful even though a similar effect is achievable with sort(1),
since the latter doesn't work in combination with -h. This option is
also present in NetBSD, OpenBSD, and GNU fileutils, so there's clearly
a demand for it.

have this option with identical semantics (sorting large files first).
-r can be used to reverse the sort if that is desired.
