coreutils: ls –quoting-style=c and | (pipe) symbol


http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=432945

output of ls --quoting-style=c is incorrect when filename contains |
(pipe) symbol.

Steps:
  mkdir /tmp/bla
  touch "/tmp/bla/filename with | pipe"
  ls --quoting-style=c /tmp/bla

returns:

 "filename with | pipe"

thanks,
-Mathieu

coreutils: stty reports bogus error.


http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=404497

Consider the session below:

$ stty -F /dev/ttyS0 9600
$ stty -F /dev/ttyS0 -g > stty.ttyS0.txt
$ stty -F /dev/ttyS0 115200
$ stty -F /dev/ttyS0 `cat stty.ttyS0.txt`
stty: /dev/ttyS0: unable to perform all requested operations
$ stty -F /dev/ttyS0 `cat stty.ttyS0.txt`
$

As far as I can tell, the (bogus) error message is due to the stty's
ignorance of c_ispeed and c_ospeed fields of struct termios.

dd oflag=append : imply notrunc, or improve documentation

uh! thanks for the tip

but still I see some kind of bug in this, lets say
a documentation bug

1) conv=???? is supposed to be
   "convert the file as per the comma separated symbol list"

 IMHO, "do not truncate the output file" is not a conversion
 in any possible imaginable way; I would understand more
 if it was  "oflag=notrunc"

2) what is the use of  "oflag=append" when one forgets
 "conv=notrunc"

So I propose some improvements:

a) add oflag=notrunc
 (leaving conv=notrunc for back compatibility)

b) oflag=append implies conv=notrunc

c) a line may be added in the man page, saying that
 oflag=append is useless w/o conv=notrunc

I will retitle the bug

a.

taskset.

$taskset -p 1578
pid 1578's current affinity mask: 1
$


taskset is used to  retrive or set the processor affinity
mask of either an  existing process,given it's PID, or to
run  a  new  process,  given  it's  command  name,with  a
specified  affinity mask. The  Linux scheduler  will then
honor the  given affinity mask,ensuring  that the process
in question runs only on allowed processors.
