Use a specific time to check whether any DST problems arise. The test is
also ignored, because this functionality seems to be broken at the
moment. Still, this is an improvement, because it is more reliable and
does not need to obtain a local offset, which might lead to a panic in
the time library.
We now run each command with TZ=UTC and LC_ALL=C to ensure consistent
behavior independent from external timezone and locale settings. These
can still be overridden with other values if necessary.
`default_missing_value` set to `OPT_DATE` (`"date"`)
`num_args(0..=1)` required for `default_missing_value`.
Using function name `test_date_rfc_8601_default`.
The function name `test_date_rfc_8601` is left intact for
compatibility.
Fixes: #4521
Improve the display of the total time spent transferring bytes so that
the number of seconds is displayed using the `%g` format specifier as
in `printf`. This matches the behavior of GNU `dd`.
Before this commit, the precision was always set to one digit after
the decimal point. For example,
$ dd count=100000 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
51200000 bytes (51 MB, 49 MiB) copied, 0.2 s, 268.1 MB/s
After this commit, the precision increases dynamically as the duration
decreases. For example,
$ dd count=100000 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
51200000 bytes (51 MB, 49 MiB) copied, 0.1019 s, 507 MB/s
$ dd count=1000 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
512000 bytes (512 kB, 500 KiB) copied, 0.002663 s, 256 MB/s
$ dd count=10 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
10+0 records in
10+0 records out
5120 bytes (5.1 kB, 5.0 KiB) copied, 0.000182 s, 5.1 MB/s
Open stdin using its file descriptor so that a `dd skip=N` command in
a subshell does not consume all bytes from stdin.
For example, before this commit, multiple instances of `dd` reading
from stdin and appearing in a single command line would incorrectly
result in an empty stdin for each instance of `dd` after the first:
$ printf "abcdef\n" | (dd bs=1 skip=3 count=0 && dd) 2> /dev/null
# incorrectly results in no output
After this commit, the `dd skip=3` process reads three bytes from the
file descriptor referring to stdin without draining the remaining
three bytes when it terminates:
$ printf "abcdef\n" | (dd bs=1 skip=3 count=0 && dd) 2> /dev/null
