* General further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.Pedro F. Giffuni2017-11-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license. The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way, superceed or replace the license texts. Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a starting point. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=326025

* ln(1): fix -F behaviorEnji Cooper2017-06-201-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When '-F' option is used, the target directory needs to be unlinked. Currently, the modified target ("target/source") is being unlinked, and since it doesn't yet exist, the original target isn't removed. This is fixed by skipping the block where target is modified to "target/source" when '-F' option is set. Hence, a symbolic link (with the same name as of the original target) to the source_file is produced. Update the test for ln(1) to reflect fix for option '-F' MFC after: 1 month PR: 219943 Differential Revision: D11167 Submitted by: shivansh Sponsored by: Google (GSoC 2017) Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=320172

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The testcase fails today, so mark it with atf_expect_fail: in particular, the target (B) isn't being unlinked and the documentation doesn't suggest special handling for directories. Thus, there's either a doc or an implementation bug in ln(1) that needs to be resolved.

* ln: Allow a trailing slash when creating a link to a directory.Jilles Tjoelker2010-04-211-14/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the 'ln source... directory' synopsis, the basename of each source determines the name of the created link. Determine this using basename(3) instead of strrchr(..., '/') which is incorrect if the pathname ends in a slash. The patch is somewhat changed to allow for basename(3) implementations that change the passed pathname, and to fix the -w option's checking also. The code to compare directory entries only applies to hard links, which cannot be created to directories using ln. Example: ln -s /etc/defaults/ /tmp This should create a symlink named defaults.
