* manual: Clarify that abbreviations of long options are allowedSiddhesh Poyarekar2022-05-041-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | The man page and code comments clearly state that abbreviations of long option names are recognized correctly as long as they are unique. Document this fact in the glibc manual as well.

* manual: Replace summary.awk with summary.pl.Rical Jasan2017-06-151-16/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Summary is now generated from @standards, and syntax-checking is performed. If invalid @standards syntax is detected, summary.pl will fail, reporting all errors. Failure and error reporting is disabled for now, however, since much of the manual is still incomplete wrt. header and standards annotations. Note that the sorting order of the Summary has changed; summary.pl respects the locale, like summary.awk did, but the use of LC_ALL=C is introduced in the Makefile. Other notable deviations are improved detection of the annotated elements' names, which are used for sorting, and improved detection of the @node used to reference into the manual. The most noticeable difference in the rendered Summary is that entries may now contain multiple lines, one for each header and standard combination. summary.pl accepts a `--help' option, which details the expected syntax of @standards. If errors are reported, the user is directed to this feature for further information. * manual/Makefile: Generate summary.texi with summary.pl. Force use of the C locale.

* getopt: remove USE_NONOPTION_FLAGSZack Weinberg2017-04-071-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | glibc's implementation of getopt includes code to parse an environment variable named _XXX_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_ (where XXX is the current process's PID in decimal); but all of it has been #ifdefed out since 2001, with no official way to turn it back on. According to commentary in our config.h.in, bash version 2.0 set this environment variable to indicate argv elements that were the result of glob expansion and therefore should not be treated as options, but the feature was "disabled later" because "it caused problems". According to bash's CHANGES file, "later" was release 2.01; it gives no more detail about what the problems were. Version 2.0 of bash was released on the last day of 1996, and version 2.01 in June of 1997. Twenty years later, I think it is safe to assume that this environment variable isn't coming back. * config.h.in (USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS): Remove. * csu/init-first.c: Remove all #ifdef USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS blocks. * sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/init-first.c: Likewise. * posix/getopt_int.h: Likewise. * posix/getopt.c: Likewise. Also remove SWAP_FLAGS and the __libc_argc and __libc_argv externs, which were only used by #ifdef USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS blocks. * posix/getopt_init.c: Remove file. * posix/Makefile (routines): Remove getopt_init. * include/getopt.h: Don't declare __getopt_initialize_environment. * manual/getopt.texi: Remove mention of USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS in a comment.
