 1.50  15-Jan-2024  christos PR/57857: Ricardo Branco: Always copy regular files, even if they appear to
be zero-sized.
 1.49  17-May-2020  christos No ACL support for install media (SMALLPROG)
 1.48  16-May-2020  christos Add ACL support for FFS. From FreeBSD.
 1.47  23-Sep-2019  christos PR/54564: Jan Schaumann: cp of a fifo yields an empty file
Don't short-circuit 0 sized stat entries if they don't belong to regular files.
Also don't try to mmap non-regular files.
 1.46  17-Jul-2018  darcy branches: 1.46.2;
Re-order the code to short circuit all the opens and closes if linking.
Discussed on tech-userlevel and agreed to by christos@.
Testing suggests an order of magnitude improvement when linking.
 1.45  29-Feb-2016  mrg branches: 1.45.14; 1.45.16;
for display in the (post) SIGINFO handler use off_t not size_t for
file sizes. fixes incorrect reporting errors on 32 bit platforms
with >4GB file sizes.
 1.44  03-Mar-2015  enami Fix the name of failed function in warning message.
 1.43  02-Mar-2015  enami Don't truncate at microseconds while preserving timestamps.

One of motivation of this change is to make the behavior of test(1)
-nt/ot with preserved copy (like cp -p) closer to the NetBSD 6.
Of course whether full timestamps are kept or not depends also on
underlying file system.

The ifdef added in mv(1) since existing ifdefs was our local change
to compile it on solaris (though I couldn't test it):
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2014/11/28/msg008831.html
 1.42  11-Dec-2013  dholland branches: 1.42.4; 1.42.6;
Remove entirely bogus /* NOTREACHED */ annotation.
 1.41  04-Jan-2012  christos branches: 1.41.6;
Add siginfo support from Daniel Loffgren.
 1.40  03-Aug-2011  manu branches: 1.40.2;
Make cp -p and mv preverve extended attributes, and complain if they cannot.

Also introduce library functions for copying extended attributes from one
file to another:
- extattr_copy_file, extattr_copy_fd, extattr_copy_link, with FreeBSD style,
where a namespace is to be supplied
- cpxattr, fcpxattr, lcpxattr, with Linux style, where all namespaces
accessible to the caller are copied, and the others are silently ignored.
 1.39  06-Feb-2011  darcy Add -l option to copy a tree as links.
Non-standard option similar to Gnutools cp(1)
Approved by core.
 1.38  04-Jan-2011  wiz branches: 1.38.2;
Fix fd leak in error case. Found by cppcheck.
 1.37  21-Dec-2010  christos Add -a archive flag. from Aleksey Cheusov
 1.36  25-Oct-2010  tron Re-enable support for reading files of at most 8MB via mmap(2).
Write out the mmap-ed data in small chunks to avoid locking the output
file for a long time.

Suggested by David Holland on "source-changes-d" mailing list.
 1.35  22-Oct-2010  pooka Disable mmap path. With the current vnode locking scheme it has
a very annoying property: if the source media is slow (like a slow
network), the target file will be locked for the duration of the
entire max 8MB write and cause processes attempting to e.g. stat()
it to "tstile" (for several minutes in the worst case). Revisit
this if/when vnode locking gets a little smarter.

chs ok (although he would rather see vnode locking improvements,
but that's a slightly larger project)
 1.34  26-Oct-2007  hira Add -N to usage.
 1.33  25-Oct-2007  jld Touching up the permissions to preserve set-ID bits is appropriate
only in the case where the destination did not previously exist, and
necessary only when -p isn't given.

Closes PR bin/30188.
 1.32  16-Jul-2006  jschauma branches: 1.32.10;
return functionality backed out yesterday after fixing the bug I had
introduced before. A regression test will be added to src/regress
shortly.
 1.31  15-Jul-2006  jschauma The last commit introduced a bug. Revert until that's found and fixed.
 1.30  15-Jul-2006  jschauma As suggested on tech-userlevel:
"-R" claims:
-R [...] Created directories have the same mode as the corre-
sponding source directory, unmodified
by the process' umask.

Make this actually true.

In addition, make '-P' (no symbolic links are followed) apply even if
'-R' is not specified. This allows users to overwrite symbolic links
with files and/or to copy symbolic links over a file without indirecting
through the link (ie a copy of a link turns the target into a link, not
a copy of the file pointed to by the source).
 1.29  15-Oct-2005  christos - Don't output 'src -> dst' when -v and there was an error.
- Mark usage as noreturn, and remove extraneous exit.
- Pass lint.
Reported by Liam Foy.
 1.28  15-Aug-2005  elad Add and document -N: When used with -p, it will not copy the file flags.
PR 13645.
 1.27  04-Jan-2004  jschauma remove unused code left from printescaped() backput as pointed out by Jeff
Ito in PR bin/23969 and PR bin/23970.
 1.26  14-Sep-2003  jschauma Following private discussion with kleink@ and hubertf@ and public discussion
on tech-userlevel@, back out printescaped() functionality.
kleink: ``We sell rope.''
 1.25  07-Aug-2003  agc Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22249, verified by myself.
 1.24  04-Aug-2003  jschauma As discusses a little while back on tech-userlevel:

If stdout is a tty, use vis(3) to print any filenames to prevent garbage
from being printed if the filename contains control- or other non-printable
characters.

While here, sprinkle some EXIT_FAILURE and NOTREACHED where appropriate.
 1.23  20-Jan-2003  simonb The Double-Semi-Colon Police.
 1.22  16-Dec-2002  jrf Added a -v verbose option to the cp(1) command. Updated man page and utils as well. This applies to PR bin/16834. This change was approved by Christos.
 1.21  19-Oct-2002  provos use readlink with bufsize - 1; approved thorpej.
 1.20  13-Sep-2001  wiz ANSIfication and some KNF fixes by Petri Koistinen from bin/13681.
 1.19  30-Aug-2001  chs enable use of mmap(), falling back to read()/write() if mmap() fails.
 1.18  18-Jul-2001  tron Use madvise(2) after mmap(2) in case "VM_AND_BUFFER_CACHE_SYNCHRONIZED"
is defined which it is not right now.
 1.17  01-Mar-1999  mjl Correct behaviour in case of dangling symlinks: they would be (contrary
to what the manpage and POSIX say) copied as symlinks, even without -R.
Return ENOENT instead. Closes PR 6975 by Johan Danielsson <joda@pdc.kth.se>.

From FreeBSD: return correct error message if source directory is
unreadable; remove unnecessarily included headers.
 1.16  08-Oct-1998  wsanchez Fix bug where "cp -f" didn't work.
It's suppsed to remove the file and then copy, which it wasn't doing.
But no wait, it turns out that the described behaviour in the manual doesn't
agree with POSIX. So we change the above fix and the manual to "try copy, and
if fail, try remove, then copy".
Fix bug where "cp -R" didn't work on read-only directories:
It would make the directory, set the mode, and not be able to write files into it.
Don't bother mmap()ing files of zero length. Was a workaround for a bug in Rhapsody
mmap(), which didn't get along with such files, but makes sense anyway.
Fix race condition where "cp -p" would set the mod time of a file before close()ing
the file, which would update the mod time and therefore screw up the "-p" idea,
except, of course, while running in gdb, which sucked.
Add -f option to usage message in binary and man page. Already documented in man page.
 1.15  19-Aug-1998  thorpej Add some braces to keep egcs happy.
 1.14  28-Jul-1998  mycroft Delint.
 1.13  28-Jul-1998  mycroft Delint.
 1.12  20-Feb-1998  mycroft Nit: Use MAP_SHARED for read-only mappings where appropriate.
 1.11  17-Feb-1998  augustss Use MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FILE instead of 0 in mmap().
 1.10  19-Oct-1997  mycroft Use futimes(2) if possible. Also correct an error message.
 1.9  19-Oct-1997  enami Preserve owner/group/mode/atime/mtime of symlink if -p flag is given.
 1.8  20-Jul-1997  thorpej - Use __COPYRIGHT() and __RCSID()
- Fix compiler warnings.
 1.7  15-May-1997  mikel add missing close-brackets; from Greg Oster in PR bin/3613.
 1.6  26-Feb-1997  cgd Patch from BSDI (via Keith Bostic):
>NFS doesn't support chflags; ignore errors unless there's reason
>to believe we're losing bits. (Note, this still won't be right
>if the server supports flags and we were trying to *remove* flags
>on a file that we copied, i.e., that we didn't create.)
 1.5  09-Jan-1997  tls kill use of register
 1.4  02-Aug-1995  jtc Don't remove the destination file if there is a write error. This is
very bad if it is actually a device or fifo. POSIX.2 requires that a
diagnostic message be written, the file descriptor be closed, and for
cp to continue on with the rest of the files.
 1.3  21-Mar-1995  cgd convert to new RCS id conventions.
 1.2  22-Sep-1994  mycroft Merge 4.4-Lite version.
 1.1  22-Sep-1994  mycroft branches: 1.1.1;

Fix the name of failed function in warning message.

Hijack utimensat(2) so that t_vfs test passes after cp(1)/mv(1) are
changed to use the system call. Linux also has this system call, but
not tested this on linux.

Also hijack futimens(2) so that t_sh test passes.

Define a generic ATCALL() and use it to implement utimensat()
Make ATCALL() behave for absolute paths too.
