Linux accepts both -r and -R, but the BSDs only like -R, and
dR POSIX also only mentions -R. So make -R the canonical flag.
Keep -r available as an alias for -R.
Also simplify the file copying logic a bit to avoid two syscalls
per file. We now create the file with the right mode right away
instead of creating it first, and then fchmod'ing it later.
Fixes#4479.
The bug is that if you try to cp DIR_A to DIR_B where DIR_A and DIR_B
have the same parent directory and DIR_A's name is a prefix of DIR_B
(e.g. foo -> foo2, bar -> barbar), it thinks that it's a subdirectory
(since it checks if DIR_A's realpath is a prefix of DIR_B's realpath).
The easiest solution is to put a path delimiter at the end before the
comparison, since you can't have a / in the middle of a directory name.
For example if DIR_A is /home/anon/foo and DIR_B is /home/anon/foo2,
then DIR_A's realpath is a prefix of DIR_B's realpath even though DIR_B
is not inside DIR_A.
This patch causes cp to investigate whether a directory is being copied
into a subdirectory of itself. It uses realpath(3) to ensure that links
do not confound detection.
And move canonicalized_path() to a static method on LexicalPath.
This is to make it clear that FileSystemPath/canonicalized_path() only
perform *lexical* canonicalization.
I've been wanting to do this for a long time. It's time we start being
consistent about how this stuff works.
The new convention is:
- "LibFoo" is a userspace library that provides the "Foo" namespace.
That's it :^) This was pretty tedious to convert and I didn't even
start on LibGUI yet. But it's coming up next.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
Since we usually know how many bytes we're going to write, we can be
nice to the kernel and ftruncate() the destination to the expected size
up front, reducing the amount of FS churn.
This was a workaround to be able to build on case-insensitive file
systems where it might get confused about <string.h> vs <String.h>.
Let's just not support building that way, so String.h can have an
objectively nicer name. :^)
When passing O_CREAT to open(), it will grab a third "mode" argument from
the stack. Let's not forget to actually pass this!
Also use the process umask for the created files.
