Rather than special-casing a check for `/dev/null`, this uses `stat()` to
avoid `chmod()`-ing any non-regular file. I believe this is the desirable
behavior. `UTIL_chmod()` is never called on directories at the moment, only
output files.
Instead of calling `stat()`, these functions accept the result of a previous
`stat()` call on the file in question, which will allow us to make multiple
decisions around a file without redundant `stat()` calls.
I want to introduce versions of many of these functions that take pre-
populated `stat_t` objects and use those rather than doing their own redundant
`stat()` internally. These functions will have `...Stat()` suffixes. So this
commit renames these existing functions into the active voice, to avoid
confusion.
both `--long-commmand=arg` and `--long-command arg`
are supported by macro `NEXT_FIELD()`
so that the long-command only needs to be listed once.
This extends the syntax to support new syntaxes like
`-o=FILE` or `-D=dict`,
though there is no need to advertise this capability for the time being.
Also : added `NEXT_UINT32()`,
which is wrapper around `NEXT_FIELD()`
to read integer parameters.
Use the wrapper to new field, such as `--memlimit`
which can now support both syntaxes too.
for --patch-from origin
and --filelist list
Also : removed some constrained syntax tests,
as the new argument parsing syntax is more permissive.
For example :
zstd file -of dest
used to be disallowed.
It's now allowed, and understood as:
zstd file -o dest -f
this patch reduces complexity associated with
commands requiring a separated arguments
such as :
-o filename
-D dictionary
--output-dir-flat dir
--output-dir-mirror dir
It used to be a multi-stage process with explicit context,
it's now simplified as a single macro.
Thanks to this simplification,
separated arguments logic has also been extended to
--patch-from XXX
--filelist XXX
which extends existing capability using =XXX
--patch-from=XXX
--filelist=XXX
Separated argument is useful for filenames and directories,
as it benefits from shell expansion
such as ~/dir/file
where the ~ is automatically translated by the shell.
In contrast --long-command=FILE does not interpret FILE,
so ~/ is transmitted as is to the main() function,
generally resulting in incorrect file name.
Since version 1.4.5 and commit
5af8cb7aea, if st_mtime is not defined,
programs/util.c uses utime without including utime.h which will raise
the following build failure on some of the buildroot autobuilders:
util.c: In function 'UTIL_setFileStat':
util.c:161:24: error: storage size of 'timebuf' isn't known
struct utimbuf timebuf;

This adds support for just showing the version string
without the full welcome message if the log level is
less than the default. That means that you pass -q once
and you will just see "1.4.5".
This makes it easier to parse in scripts.
