Replace `ByteSplitter` and `LineSplitter` with `ByteChunkWriter` and
`LineChunkWriter` respectively. This results in a more maintainable
design and an increase in the speed of splitting by lines.
Correct the `test_split::test_suffixes_exhausted` test case so that it
actually exercises the intended behavior of `split`. Previously, the
test fixture contained 26 bytes. After this commit, the test fixture
contains 27 bytes. When using a suffix width of one, only 26 filenames
should be available when naming chunk files---one for each lowercase
ASCII letter. This commit ensures that the filenames will be exhausted
as intended by the test.
Add the `ByteChunkWriter` and `LineChunkWriter` structs and
implementations, but don't use them yet. This structs offer an
alternative approach to writing chunks of output (contrasted with
`ByteSplitter` and `LineSplitter`). The main difference is that
control of which underlying file is being written is inside the writer
instead of outside.
Add some helper functions and adjust some error-handling to make the
`Output::dd_out()` method, containing the main loop of the `dd`
program, more concise. This commit also adds documentation and
comments describing the main loop procedure in more detail.
Add some structure to errors that can be created during parsing of
settings from command-line options. This commit creates
`StrategyError` and `SettingsError` enumerations to represent the
various parsing and other errors that can arise when transforming
`ArgMatches` into `Settings`.
Show a warning when a block size includes "0x" since this is
ambiguous: the user may have meant "multiply the next number by zero"
or they may have meant "the following characters should be interpreted
as a hexadecimal number".
When specifying `seek=N` and *not* specifying `conv=notrunc`, truncate
the output file to `N` blocks instead of truncating it to zero before
starting to write output. For example
$ printf "abc" > outfile
$ printf "123" | dd bs=1 skip=1 seek=1 count=1 status=noxfer of=outfile
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
$ cat outfile
a2
Fixes#3068.
- consolidate configuration
- DRY improvements
- improve flexibility/robustness in the face of missing reference test info
- add reference test info IDs and additional logging to help diagnose testing failures
- includes parallel refactor of 'util/run-gnu-test.sh'
Using this escaped character will cause `printf` to stop generating characters.
For instance,
```rust
hbina@akarin ~/g/uutils (hbina-add-test-for-additional-escape)> cargo run --quiet -- printf "%s\c%s" a b
a⏎
```
