Release man-db 2.12.0
2023-09-19 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
systemd: Avoid duplicate cleanup of old cat pages
Thanks to Ferenc Wágner. Fixes https://bugs.debian.org/1052221.
* init/systemd/man-db.service.in: Remove call to `find`; this is already
handled equivalently by `init/systemd/man-db.conf.in`, and having both
can result in error messages due to the two cleanups running
concurrently.
* NEWS.md: Document this.
2023-08-20 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
bootstrap: Make --skip-po disable Gnulib downloads too
Fixes https://bugs.debian.org/1050089.
* bootstrap.conf: If the `--skip-po` option is explicitly passed, then
don't pass `--po-base` or `--po-domain` options to `gnulib-tool`, and
don't merge `gl/ref-po/` into `gl/po/`.

2023-07-28 G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
lexgrog.1: Fix thinko in my recent contribution
In commit bbf7701c4f, 19 July, I got the sense of the tests that
governed the macro definitions backwards. I fooled myself because I use
a more complex test in groff's an-ext.tmac file (written in a
non-intuitive way due to AT&T troff limitations) so that it's easy to
run groff's automated tests on them.
2023-07-22 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

2023-07-21 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Include .lf corrections in debugging output
The pipeline command names in `PIPELINE_DEBUG` output are deliberately
abbreviated in the cases where the command is inserting data into the
`*roff` input stream, in an attempt to convey the essential parts
without overwhelming the reader. However, it probably does make sense
to include `.lf` corrections there, since if you're relying on the
debugging output to construct a manual shell pipeline when debugging an
issue with a page, you'll want the `.lf` corrections so that line
numbers still come out correctly.
* src/man.c (add_roff_line_length, display): Include `echo .lf 1` in
command names where appropriate.
2023-07-20 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Take advantage of groff's AD string and HY register
Fixes https://gitlab.com/man-db/man-db/-/issues/23. Thanks to G.
Branden Robinson for assistance.
* src/man.c (make_roff_command) [TROFF_IS_GROFF]: Implement
`--no-hyphenation` using `-rHY=0`. This requires groff >= 1.19,
released in 2003.
(disable_hyphenation): Only define if `TROFF_IS_GROFF` is not defined.
(display): Only use the more complex hyphenation-control mechanism if
`TROFF_IS_GROFF` is not defined.
* src/man.c (disable_justification): Implement using `.ds AD l` if groff
is at least version 1.23.0.
(display): Adjust debugging output to reflect this (more or less).
* NEWS.md: Document this.

Update warning regex for groff 1.23.0
Part of https://gitlab.com/man-db/man-db/-/issues/25.
* man/check-man: groff 1.23.0 says "cannot break line" rather than
"can't break line"; update regular expression.
2023-07-19 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Avoid translation fallout from lexgrog(1) fix
* man/man1/lexgrog.man1: Protect `.ds mC CW` with `.if !'po4a'hide'`, to
avoid "CW" showing up as a string for translation.
2023-07-19 G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>
Improve lexgrog(1) portability
This fixes a test failure in man1/lexgrog.1 when building against groff
1.23.0.
Borrow code from groff 1.23.0's "an-ext.tmac" file (licensed as
permissively as a decadent society) to implement `EX` and `EE` extension
macros from Ninth Edition Research Unix (1986) (and groff) to get
monospaced code displays in a more portable way. There is no way to
portably change font families in pure man(7) itself, and the names of
troff typefaces aren't very portable either. There is also no portable
way to test for the _existence_ of a font. FTW.
("Portable" here largely means "to AT&T device-independent troff
implementations", for which there has been no official source since the
mid-1990s.[1] Several AT&T Unix System V licensees/descendants have
continued to ship their own vendored versions, but these have enjoyed
little or no development for the past 3 decades.)
* Define a string `mC` to store the name of a presumed monospaced roman
typeface. Use "CW", which is portable to AT&T device-independent
troff of the early 1980s before it occurred to anyone that Courier
might someday be available in italic and bold styles (and budget
available to purchase them).
* Define `mC` as "CR" if using a typesetting device and the formatter is
groff, or claims groff compatibility by the setting the `.g` register.
This is reasonably portable to modern implementations given
traditional troff font naming practices and the pervasive influence of
Adobe Software and the "base fonts" of its PostScript and PDF
specifications.
* If not typesetting (i.e., if using nroff), define `mC` as "R", which
is certain to be available.
* Define `EX` and `EE` macros as groff does, if the formatter does not
set the `.g` register.
* Migrate from `ft CW` and `nf` requests to `EX` macro calls.
* Migrate from `ft P` and `fi` requests to `EE` macro calls.
* Replace an inline use of `\f(CW` with a change to inline bold. There
is to date no portable way to inline a font family change.
Test passes now. Tested as-is and with the `EX` and `EE` macro
definitions forcibly enabled.

Correct typography of "~/.manpath"
`~` should be written as `\(ti` in manual pages to avoid being rendered

zsoelim_open_file: Fix use of uninitialized value
In the case where `filename` has no directory part and does not contain
a dot, we could reach the decision of whether to emit a "can't open %s"
error message without initializing `decomp`. Noticed by `gcc -Og`.
* src/zsoelim.l (zsoelim_open_file): Initialize `decomp` to NULL.
2022-10-18 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Recognize more Hungarian translations of the NAME section
* src/lexgrog.l (hu_name): Handle the case where "É" or "é" is written

Sort whatis references below real pages more aggressively
I think this makes more sense in most cases, and it definitely fixes
some observed odd behaviour.
Fixes Debian bug #780235.
* src/man.c (compare_candidates): Compare IDs before comparing sections.
* NEWS.md: Document this.

Silence error for empty mandir with missing catdir
Fixes https://gitlab.com/cjwatson/man-db/-/issues/8.
* src/check_mandirs.c (ensure_db_open): Don't call `gripe_rwopen_failed`
before returning false (since it only makes sense for one of the two
callers).
(testmandirs): Call `gripe_rwopen_failed` if `ensure_db_open` returns
false.
2022-10-17 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Add 3type to default section list
This is used by the Linux man-pages package, and should be lower
priority than section 2. Suggested by Alejandro Colomar.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/cjwatson/man-db/-/issues/5.
* include/manconfig.h (STD_SECTIONS): Add `3type` between sections `2`
and `5`.
* m4/man-arg-sections.m4 (MAN_ARG_SECTIONS): Likewise.
* man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): Update documentation of SECTION.

Release man-db 2.11.0
2022-10-13 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
ult_src: Fix possible NULL dereference
`gcc -fanalyzer` noticed that `canonicalize_file_name` can return NULL,
therefore `find_include` could return NULL, and therefore it was
possible for `ult_src` to attempt to dereference NULL in the `stat
(base, &st)` call. Push more work down to `find_include` so that we can
consistently treat it as an error if it returns NULL.
* src/ult_src.c (ult_softlink): Move error messages to ...
(gripe_canonicalize_failed): ... here (new function).
(find_include): Replace simple suffix globbing with `comp_file`, and use
this approach in both the relative-to-mantree and
relative-to-dirname-of-page cases; we previously only tried it in the
latter case. Call `gripe_canonicalize_failed` if the final
canonicalization step fails; print a "can't resolve %s" error if we
can't even find anything to canonicalize.
(ult_src): Remove `comp_file` processing, now done by `find_include`.
* src/ult_src.h (gripe_canonicalize_failed): Add prototype.
* src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Use `gripe_canonicalize_failed`.
2022-10-11 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix regression in preprocessor string handling
We need to stop looking for characters that identify preprocessors after
the first space or dash, as otherwise encoding declarations of the kind
specified in man-recode(1) may break.
* src/man.c (make_roff_command): Only consider the part of the
preprocessor string up to the first space or dash, if any.
2022-10-11 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
match_in_directory: Split into multiple functions
`match_in_directory` had two almost entirely disjoint code paths, one
for regex patterns and one for wildcard patterns; but its structure made
it difficult for `gcc -fanalyzer` to understand that, and it was a bit
unclear for humans too. Split it up for clarity.
* src/globbing.c (match_in_directory): Split out the
regex/wildcard-handling parts to ...
(match_regex_in_directory, match_wildcard_in_directory): ... here,
respectively.
2022-10-11 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Assert that another xasprintf call returns non-NULL
As with commit a22f140354c80a7c5c52c4a413f1c929e105a24c, `gcc
-fanalyzer` notices that `xasprintf` can return NULL in some situations.
I believe those situations would all amount to programming errors here,
so add an assert.
* src/mandb.c (main): Assert that `xasprintf` returns non-NULL.
2022-10-09 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix error message
* src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): If canonicalizing `catdir` returns
NULL, then substitute `catdir` into the "warning: %s is a dangling
symlink" message, not `fullpath` (which at this point must be NULL).
2022-10-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

2022-10-06 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Run preprocessors in the correct order
We have no particular reason to trust the order of filters in a
preprocessor string specified in a page; it's easy for authors to get
this wrong by accident. Do as groff(1) does and run them in a
canonicalized order.
Fixes Debian bug #1012078.
* src/man.c (add_filter): New function, split out from
`make_roff_command`.
(make_roff_command): Iterate through possible preprocessors and add each
one depending on whether it's present in the preprocessor string, rather
than iterating through the preprocessor string and acting on each of its
characters. Turn several `int` variables into `bool` variables in
passing.

2022-10-02 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Reformat option declarations using macros
The previous tabular presentation had some advantages, but it only

mandb: Fully reorganize databases
This allows us to produce bitwise-identical databases regardless of the
order in which pages were scanned (at least with GDBM).
`gdbm_reorganize` isn't enough for this, probably because entries end up
in different positions in hash buckets depending on insertion order; but
reading in the entire database and writing it back out in sorted order
seems to do the job with negligible cost.
Fixes Debian bug #1010957.
* src/mandb.c (reorganize): New function: read all the items from a
database in sorted order and write them back out.
(mandb): Stop calling `MYDBM_REORG`, which saved space after deletions
but didn't help with reproducibility.
(process_manpath): Call `reorganize` if any changes were made to a
database.
* libdb/mydbm.h (MYDBM_REORG): Remove macro.
* NEWS.md: Document this.
2022-10-02 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
mandb: Rearrange database path operations
Moving these into "methods" of `struct dbpaths` makes the control flow
clearer by avoiding lots of inlined `#ifdef`s.
I fixed a possible crash in `mandb -f` in the process, exposed by the
clearer control flow.
* src/mandb.c (dbpaths_init, dbpaths_copy_to_tmp, dbpaths_remove_tmp):
New functions.
(finish_up): Rename to ...
(dbpaths_rename_from_tmp): ... this.
(do_chown): Rename to ...
(dbpaths_chown_if_possible): ... this.
(cleanup_sigsafe): Rename to ...
(dbpaths_unlink_tmp): ... this, and take a `struct dbpaths *` argument
rather than `void *`.
(cleanup): Rename to ...
(dbpaths_free_elements): ... this, and take a `struct dbpaths *`
argument rather than `void *`.
(mandb, process_manpath): Use new `dbpaths_*` functions. Only call
`dbpaths_rename_from_tmp` if `run_mandb` is set (in practice this was
always true anyway but this makes it clearer). Only call
`dbpaths_chown_if_possible` if `run_mandb` is set and
`dbpaths_rename_from_tmp` was called (this may have caused a crash in
some edge cases involving `mandb -f`).
2022-10-01 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
test_manfile: Remove "already exists" check
This produced inconsistent results in some unusual cases. For example,
if `/usr/share/man/man5/inetd.conf.5.gz` was a symlink to
`/usr/share/man/man8/inetd.8.gz` and had `NAME` entries for both `inetd`
and `inetd.conf`, then if `inetd.8.gz` was scanned first we would
include a `WHATIS_MAN` entry in section 8 for `inetd.conf`, while if
`inetd.conf.5.gz` was scanned first we'd skip that due to hitting the
already-exists check when scanning `inetd.8.gz`.
This was originally a performance optimization. Now that we cache the
results of `ult_src` and `find_name`, this optimization no longer helps
us much, so it can go.
* src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Don't return early if the page
already exists with matching details.
* NEWS.md: Document this.
2022-10-01 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Further improve name selection for whatis targets
In commit 9aff3c30b0, I used the rule "first name in the trace out of
those that have the best ID". However, a better rule turns out to be to
pick the last entry in the trace that has the same section and extension
as the starting page. This is already guaranteed to have at least as
good an ID as the starting page, and since whatis pointers don't include
the target section and extension we need to ensure that they don't cross
sections/extensions; otherwise we just end up with database entries that
man(1) refuses to use, which isn't particularly useful.
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): Parse and cache all the
filenames in the trace at the start. Use the last entry in the trace
with the same section/extension as the starting page as the pointer for
`WHATIS_*` entries.
2022-10-01 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
test_manfile: Stop caching ult_src traces
Now that `test_manfile` always calls `ult_src` before adding database
entries, there's no need for it to cache the resulting traces, and doing
so had some confusing consequences since `store_descriptions` could end
up seeing cached traces that didn't include the initial path.
* src/check_mandirs.c (struct whatis): Remove `trace` element.
(whatis_free): Stop freeing `whatis->trace`.
(test_manfile): Stop caching `ult->trace`; pass it directly to
`store_descriptions` instead.
2022-10-01 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Restructure ult_src to add caching
* src/ult_src.c (struct ult_key): New structure.
(ult_key_new, ult_key_equals, ult_key_hash, ult_key_free, ult_value_new,
ult_value_free): New functions.
(ult_cache): New map.
(ult_src): Instead of returning a path as a string and taking `trace` as
an output parameter, return a `struct ult_value *` containing both path
and trace. Cache the return value in a hash map (indexed by a composite
key consisting of `name` and `flags`), and return cached values where
possible rather than repeating the same work. Update all callers to
reflect the new signature.
* src/ult_src.h (struct ult_value): New structure.
(ult_src): Update prototype.
* src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Simplify `ult_src` calling
arrangements now that repeated calls with the same `name` and `flags`
arguments are cheap. At the moment this may end up doing a little more
work in some rare cases (links to already-scanned pages with `.so`
links), but that doesn't seem to be very significant at the moment, and
caching could be improved inside `ult_src` if it proves to be a problem.
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): `trace` is now always
set. Add an assertion of this and drop a couple of conditionals.
2022-09-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
ult_src: Remove recursion
The use of recursion for `.so` handling in `ult_src` is somewhat
inconvenient, and it's relatively easy to convert it to an iterative
implementation.
There should be no functional change from this commit, except to some
details of debug messages.
* src/ult_src.c (find_include_directive): New function, extracted from
`ult_src`.
(ult_src): Handle `.so` links using a loop rather than recursion. Check
for compression extensions towards the end of the loop rather than at
the beginning, to avoid nonexistent files showing up in the trace.
2022-09-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
mandb: Improve debugging
* src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Log the file under consideration
on entry. Log when we return early due to an existing database entry.
Remove some unnecessary parentheses from debug messages.
* src/ult_src.c (ult_src): Remove leading newline from debug message.
2022-09-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Don't skip adding a database entry due to SO_MAN
An existing `SO_MAN` entry shouldn't stop us considering a page for
insertion into the database, because until we run `ult_src` we don't yet
know whether that page will be `ULT_MAN` (which should replace the
existing entry) or `SO_MAN` (which shouldn't).
* src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Don't return early due to an
existing matching `SO_MAN` entry, but only due to an `ULT_MAN` entry.
* NEWS.md: Document this.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix section/extension for whatis entries in database
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): Use the
section/extension of the best name for whatis entries, since we don't
have anything better.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
store_descriptions: Improve debugging
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): Log the extension of
each entry being stored.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Extend database entry replacement rules
These rules were previously ambiguous such that the targets of whatis
entries depended on the order in which files were scanned.
* libdb/db_store.c (enum replace_action): Add.
(replace_if_necessary): Extend rules for greater stability. We now also
take mtimes and pointers into account, as well as including a case for
when the new ID is weaker than the old one (there was already a case for
when it was stronger).
(dbstore): Use `replace_if_necessary` when considering replacing multi
keys.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix section/extension for links in database
In some cases this resulted in spurious database entries. For example,
if `man5/inetd.conf.5` was a symlink to `man8/inetd.8` and that page had
a `NAME` entry for `inetd`, then as well as entries for `inetd` in
section 8 and `inetd.conf` in section 5, we would also store a spurious
entry for `inetd` in section 5. We no longer do that.
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): For names corresponding
to entries in the ultimate source trace and not to the base name of the
file, use the section and extension of the trace entry rather than of
the ultimate source.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Pick a more consistent name for whatis targets
We don't want the targets of whatis entries in the database to depend on
the order in which files were scanned. Prefer the first name in the
trace out of those that have the best ID.
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): Defer adding names that
don't appear in the ultimate source trace (i.e. whatis entries) until we
know the best name to use as the target, and use that best name as the
pointer for each of them.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix stored ID for links
Database entries for links were often incorrectly stored as `ULT_MAN`,
depending on the exact order in which pages were scanned. They are now
stored more consistently as `SO_MAN`.
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): Override the ID from
`ULT_MAN` to `SO_MAN` if the name is not the last entry in the trace.
(Previously we overrode from `SO_MAN` to `ULT_MAN` if the name was the
last entry in the trace, but not the converse.)
* NEWS.md: Document this.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Simplify struct mandata memory allocation
The arrangement where most of the fields of `struct mandata` were
constant pointers into the `addr` field was a bit more memory-efficient,
but it made some kinds of analysis and reorganization very difficult,
and we don't actually need to be quite that frugal about memory.
Reorganize this to allocate each field independently instead.
* lib/filenames.c (filename_info): Allocate each field independently.
Use Gnulib's `base_name` and `dir_name` functions to parse paths. Stop
setting `info->addr`.
(free_mandata_struct): Free the `ext`, `sec`, `pointer`, `comp`,
`filter`, and `whatis` fields. Stop freeing `addr`.
* lib/filenames.h (struct mandata): Remove `addr`. Make `ext`, `sec`,
`pointer`, `comp`, `filter`, and `whatis` non-`const`.
* libdb/db_lookup.c (split_content): Copy the `ext`, `sec`, `pointer`,
`filter`, `comp`, and `whatis` fields. Stop setting `addr`.
* libdb/db_store.c (make_content): Copy the `pointer`, `comp`, `filter`,
and `whatis` fields.
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): Copy `pointer` and
`whatis` fields.
* src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Copy `comp`, `ext`, `sec`, and
`filter` fields.
* libdb/db_lookup.c (dblookup): Always free `cont`'s data pointer, since
it's no longer sometimes borrowed.
* libdb/db_store.c (dbstore): Free `cont`'s and `oldcont`'s data
pointers, since they're no longer borrowed.
* src/check_mandirs.c (purge_missing): Free `content`'s data pointer,
since it's no longer borrowed.
* libdb/db_lookup.c (dblookup_pattern): Stop freeing `info->addr`.
* src/catman.c (parse_for_sec): Stop freeing `entry->addr`.
* src/whatis.c (do_apropos): Stop freeing `info->addr`.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Stop using the addr field of struct mandata
The `addr` field of `struct mandata` is just intended as an internal
buffer, but some functions were extracting information from it in
complicated ways, which made it difficult to refactor the memory
allocation here. Use different approaches.
* src/check_mandirs (test_manfile): Calculate `len` using `comp_info`.
This duplicates some of what `filename_info` does, but it's just some
cheap string manipulation, and it expresses what we want in a less
confusing way (the length of the file name with any compression
extension removed).
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): Check whether `path` is
a prefix of `trace_name` rather than of `trace_info->addr`.
`trace_info->addr` is always itself a prefix of `trace_name`, so if
`path` is not a prefix of `trace_name` then it can't be a prefix of
`trace_info->addr`.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
is_prefix: Improve parameter naming
The second parameter doesn't have to be a directory, so stop implying
that in the parameter name.
* src/descriptions_store.c (is_prefix): Rename `path` to `parent`; rename
`dir` to `child`.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Simplify split_content interface
Now that `struct mandata` is always allocated on the heap, we might as
well just have `split_content` return a freshly-allocated `struct
mandata` rather than taking a pointer to one as a parameter.
* libdb/db_lookup.c (split_content): Allocate and return a `struct
mandata`; remove `pinfo` parameter. Update all callers.
* libdb/db_storage.h (split_content): Update prototype.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Always allocate struct mandata on the heap
This means we no longer need two slightly different functions for
freeing it.
* libdb/db_lookup.c (dblookup_pattern): Allocate `struct mandata` on the
heap. Simplify arrangements for adding to the `infos` list.
(dbstore): Allocate `struct mandata` on the heap.
* src/catman.c (parse_for_sec): Likewise.
* src/check_mandirs.c (purge_pointers, purge_missing): Likewise.
* src/straycats.c (check_for_stray): Likewise.
* src/whatis.c (do_apropos): Likewise.
* lib/filenames.c (free_mandata_elements): Remove function and move its
contents to ...
(free_mandata_struct): ... here, if `pinfo` is set.
* lib/filenames.h (free_mandata_elements): Remove prototype.
2022-09-24 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
filename_info: Always allocate info->name
Only one call site has any interest in this being unset (in order to
pass the result to `dbstore`), and even there it's easier for the caller
to deal with unsetting it. Otherwise, it's strictly more convenient if
the structure returned by `filename_info` always includes the name of
the page.
* lib/filenames.c (filename_info): Remove `req_name` parameter; update
all callers. Always set `info->name` before returning successfully.
* lib/filenames.h (filename_info): Update prototype.
* src/check_mandirs.c (test_manfile): Use `info->name` for
`manpage_base` rather than poking around in `info->addr`.
(count_glob_matches): Remove `name` parameter; update all callers.
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): Drop now-unnecessary
check for `trace_info->name`.
* src/man.c (do_global_apropos_section): Build `title` using
`info->name` rather than poking around in `info->addr`.
* src/mandb.c (update_one_file): Drop now-unnecessary check for
`info->name`.
2022-09-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Reduce indentation in store_descriptions a bit
* src/descriptions_store.c (store_descriptions): Use an early-continue
construction to save a level of indentation.
2022-09-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Simplify the filename_info interface
This interface is a bit less confusing.
* libdb/db_lookup.c (free_mandata_elements, free_mandata_struct): Move
to ...
* lib/filenames.c (free_mandata_elements, free_mandata_struct): ...
here.
* libdb/db_storage.h (free_mandata_elements, free_mandata_struct): Move
to ...
* lib/filenames.h (free_mandata_elements, free_mandata_struct): ...
here.
* lib/filenames.c (filename_info): Return a `struct mandata` with the
`addr` element set to the buffer containing the fields, rather than
returning the buffer and taking a pointer to a `struct mandata` as a
parameter. Update all callers.
* lib/filenames.h (filename_info): Update prototype.
2022-09-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Move manual page file name utilities to lib/
* src/filenames.c: Move to ...
* lib/filenames.c: ... here.
* src/filenames.h: Move to ...
* lib/filenames.h: ... here. Update positioning of all includes.
* lib/Makefile.am (libman_la_SOURCES): Add `filenames.c` and
`filenames.h`.
* src/Makefile.am (man_recode_LDADD): Link with `$(LIBMAN)` instead of
`$(LIBMANDB)`.
(lexgrog_SOURCES, man_SOURCES, mandb_SOURCES): Remove `filenames.c` and
`filenames.h`.
* po/POTFILES.in: Rename `src/filenames.c` to `lib/filenames.c`.
* lib/filenames.c (gripe_bogus_manpage): Remove `quiet < 2` condition.
(filename_info): Add `warn_if_bogus` parameter; only call
`gripe_bogus_manpage` if it is set. Update all callers.
* lib/filename.h (filename_info): Update prototype.
* libdb/db_storage.h (struct mandata): Move to ...
* lib/filenames.h (struct mandata): ... here. Add includes where
necessary.
2022-09-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix distcheck
* po/POTFILES.in: Rename `src/compression.c` to `lib/compression.c`.
2022-09-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Move compression file name utilities to lib/
This makes more sense as a home for plain file name manipulation
utilities. I also merged `include/comp_src.h.in` into
`lib/compression.c`, because structure definitions (as opposed to
declarations) don't belong in header files.
* src/compression.c: Move to ...
* lib/compression.c: ... here. Remove unnecessary `pipeline.h` include.
* src/compression.h: Move to ...
* lib/compression.h: ... here. Update positioning of all includes.
* lib/Makefile.am (libman_la_SOURCES): Add `compression.c` and
`compression.h`.
* lib/README: Add `compression.*`.

mandb_SOURCES): Remove `compression.c` and `compression.h`.
* include/comp_src.h (comp_list): Move to ...
* lib/compression.c (comp_list): ... here. Update all references.
* include/manconfig.h (struct compression, comp_list): Move to ...
* lib/compression.h (struct compression, comp_list): ... here. Add
includes where necessary.
* Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove `include/comp_src.h`.
2022-09-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Remove infoalloc macro
It doesn't really pull its weight.
* libdb/db_lookup.c (dblookup, dblookup_pattern): Call `XZALLOC (struct
mandata)` rather than `infoalloc ()`.
* src/man.c (try_section, do_global_apropos_section): Likewise.
* libdb/db_storage.h (infoalloc): Remove.
2022-09-19 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Maintain multi key references in sorted order
This is a step towards being able to reproduce the same database given
the same manual page tree.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stpcpy.
* libdb/db_lookup.c (name_ext_equals): Remove static; add pure
attribute.
(name_ext_compare): New function.
(list_extensions): Add entries in sorted order.
* libdb/db_storage.h (name_ext_equals, name_ext_compare): Add
prototypes.
* libdb/db_store.c (make_extensions_reference): New function.
(dbstore): When building or updating multi key references, maintain them
in sorted order.
* NEWS.md: Document this.

Remove some excessive debugging output
This hasn't been of any practical use for many years.
* lib/security.c (drop_effective_privs, regain_effective_privs): Remove
debug messages emitted when increasing or decreasing the privilege drop
count.
2022-08-11 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix use of pointer (address only) after free
I don't believe this was technically undefined behaviour, since we
didn't actually dereference the dangling pointer, merely compared its
value (the pointer address itself) against entries in the cleanup stack.
However, the compiler probably had a hard time proving that, so the
use-after-free warning issued by recent versions of GCC seems fair
enough.
* src/mandb.c (cleanup): Don't free dbpaths.
(process_manpath): Free it here instead, after calling pop_cleanup.
2022-08-11 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Make CATWIDTH override MINCATWIDTH/MAXCATWIDTH
Otherwise setting `CATWIDTH` to something larger than 80 confusingly
doesn't work unless you also set `MAXCATWIDTH`.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/cjwatson/man-db/-/issues/9.
* src/man.c (add_roff_line_length): Skip terminal width range check if
`cat_width` is set.
* man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): Remove note that `CATWIDTH` should be
within the range set by `MINCATWIDTH` and `MAXCATWIDTH`, and instead say
that it overrides them.
* NEWS.md: Document this.
2022-07-22 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Add more case variants of localized versions of NAME
* src/lexgrog.l (bg_name, lt_name, ru_name, sr_name, srlatin_name,

Cache filters alongside whatis information
`mandb` needs to cache filters together with whatis information, as
otherwise pages were incorrectly recorded with no filters if `mandb`
happened to use cached whatis information for them rather than reading
it from scratch.
* src/check_mandirs.c (struct whatis): Add filters.
(whatis_free): Free whatis->filters.

Stop GitLab from getting confused about licences
GitLab uses https://github.com/licensee/licensee to detect the project's
licence, and if that finds multiple matching files then it throws up its
hands and refuses to make a licence assertion, with no apparent way to
override it.
To avoid this problem, move the secondary licence files (those that
apply only to some files, rather than to the project as a whole) back
into a subdirectory, so that `licensee` doesn't notice them.
* COPYING.GPLv2: Move to ...
* docs/COPYING.GPLv2: ... here. Update all references.
* COPYING.LIB: Move to ...
* docs/COPYING.LIB: ... here. Update all references.
* Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): Remove COPYING.GPLv2.

Clarify effective GPLv3 licensing
While man-db's own files are individually licensed under GPLv2 (or in a
few cases LGPLv2.1), the project as a whole is effectively GPLv3 due to
Gnulib. This was already explained in README.md, but make it a bit
clearer by having the top-level COPYING file be a copy of GPLv3.

Refactor use of cd in shell scripts
shellcheck warns about unchecked uses of `cd` (SC2164). Either check it
or refactor to avoid changing directory.
* src/tests/man-deleted-directory: Check `cd` call.
* src/tests/man-suffixed-extension: Avoid changing directory.
* tools/mkcatdirs: Likewise.
2022-03-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
mkcatdirs: Skip nonexistent man directories
* tools/mkcatdirs: `manpath -qg` may return man directories that are
mentioned in the configuration file but that don't exist on the
filesystem. Skip these.
2022-03-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
mkcatdirs: Refactor using install(1)
I'm not sure this script is widely-used, but it might as well work. It
previously relied on `mkinstalldirs`, which is a build tool not
typically installed on end-user systems.
* tools/mkcatdirs: Refactor cat directory creation using install(1).
2022-03-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Apply various minor shell syntax improvements
* manual/print-options: Explicitly set `LANGUAGE=''` rather than
`LANGUAGE=`, pacifying shellcheck SC1007 which notes that this
construction might otherwise be misread.
* src/tests/manconv-odd-combinations: Use `printf %b` to pacify
shellcheck SC2059.
* src/tests/testlib.sh: Tell shellcheck which shell syntax to assume,
since this file has no `#!` line.
(run): Disable shellcheck SC2154; `abs_top_builddir` is always set by
the test runner.
(report): Remove unnecessary `$` before variable in arithmetic context.
(tools/checkman): Use `$(...)` for command substitution. Quote
variables properly where possible, and ignore shellcheck SC2068 in a
couple of other places.
2022-03-07 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
tests: Pacify shellcheck SC2188
The previous construction resulted in:
SC2188 (warning): This redirection doesn't have a command. Move to its
command (or use 'true' as no-op).

redirections without a command.

man(1): Fix override dir handling
Previously, override dir was affecting only some cases of manpath
determination. Apply it only when all paths have been gathered instead.
Also look for override dir when sorting candidates.
Fixes src/tests/man-override-dir failing when --with-override-dir=od is
passed to ./configure.
[cjwatson: Refactored candidate comparison to use a strcmp-style
function, and simplified the addition of override directories a little
more.]
* src/man.c (compare_override_dir): New function.
(compare_candidates): Compare override directory status between
comparing section extensions and comparing locale elements.
* src/manp.c (insert_override_dir): Remove.
(get_manpath_from_path, add_man_subdirs): Remove calls to
insert_override_dir.
(create_pathlist): Add OVERRIDE_DIR at the canonicalization stage
instead.

Fix showing HTML, as firefox runs into background too fast
[cjwatson: I'm not 100% keen on this approach, since it randomly depends
on how long the browser happens to take to launch and might be a bit
annoying for users of light browsers such as w3m, but there doesn't seem
to be any other good alternative for the more common case of people
using typical graphical browsers.]
Fixes Debian bug #335411 and Savannah bug #59542.
* src/man.c (format_display): Sleep for a few seconds after starting the
browser, since it may background itself before loading files.

Fix building on Cygwin
Achim reported that 2.10.0 no longer builds on Cygwin, while 2.9.4 did.
This was magnificently obscure, at least to this Unix-head. Initially
it appeared to be an issue with inter-library linking between libman and
libmandb, but 2.9.4 relied on that too, just slightly less so.
The actual problem was that libman only exported
`gl_get_setlocale_null_lock` and not all the other symbols it's supposed
to export, which is because that was explicitly marked for export and no
other symbols were. Building libman with `-Wl,--export-all-symbols`
fixes this; libman is intended as an aggregation of various helper
functions, including those from Gnulib, and it doesn't make sense to be
especially selective since it's only installed as a private library
anyway.
(I'm still not exactly sure why 2.9.4 didn't do the same thing, but this
seems to be a good enough fix.)
* configure.ac: Set LIBMAN_EXPORT_LDFLAGS to '-Wl,--export-all-symbols'
when linking with GNU ld on Windows platforms.
* lib/Makefile.am (libman_la_LDFLAGS): Add $(LIBMAN_EXPORT_LDFLAGS).
* src/Makefile.am (LIBMAN): Remove $(top_builddir)/gl/lib/libgnu.la; as

man: Avoid spurious error messages due to subpages
Since man-db 2.4.2, `man` has behaved as if the `-l` option was given if
a manual page argument contains a slash. Since man-db 2.5.6, this has
interacted slightly poorly with the subpage feature, emitting spurious
error messages if given multiple manual page arguments some of which
include a slash. `man` no longer emits spurious error messages in this
case.
Fixes Savannah bug #53708.
* src/man.c (man): Move name-contains-slash case to ...
(man_maybe_local): ... here (new function).

Simplify static analysis of fatal errors
The usual idiom for fatal error reporting in man-db is `error (FATAL,
...)` (there are a few cases using different exit codes, but they're
less common). Unfortunately, there's no easy way to tell the compiler
that this call doesn't return, because `error (0, ...)` *does* return.
As a result, some call sites required extra work to give the compiler
this information, which can sometimes make a difference to static
analysis.
To simplify this, add a new `fatal` helper function which always exits
`FATAL` (i.e. 2) and never returns. This is declared with `_Noreturn`
so that the compiler can straightforwardly know what's going on.

mandb: Don't modify DB without changing its mtime
In d9ebedad15 (man-db 2.7.0), mandb started relying on the modification
times of database files themselves rather than using a special row, in
order to make databases reproducible between otherwise-identical
installations (subject to predictable behaviour from the underlying
database).
There was a difficulty with this change. Because purging deleted pages
from the database opened and closed the database in a separate phase
before the main phase of looking for updated manual pages, and because
the main phase relies on comparing against the mtime of the database to
find changed files, I had to arrange to restore the original mtime at
the end of the purge phase in order to avoid confusing the main phase
into being a no-op. However, in some cases (perhaps due to other bugs,
but nevertheless), it's possible for the purge phase to find work to do
without the main phase ever finding any modified directories, which
meant that the net effect of mandb would be to modify its database
without changing its mtime. This is bad form, and confused some backup
systems into believing that the filesystem had been corrupted, since
files having their contents changed without updating their mtime is
indeed a likely symptom of filesystem corruption.
To avoid this, restructure our database-handling code so that a given
mandb run opens any given database at most once. This means that we no
longer need to modify mtimes manually, so the usual filesystem rules
apply.

Significantly improve mandb performance
Forking large numbers of subprocesses is slow. An ideal fix would
involve work in libpipeline (e.g. generator functions or
multithreading), but in the meantime we can do much better in the common
case of moderately-sized pages compressed using zlib by doing in-process
decompression. On my test system, this takes `mandb -c` from 344
seconds (or 152 seconds with `MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1` before 50200d151d,
or 78 seconds with `MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1` after 50200d151d) to 10
seconds.
Thanks to Steinar H. Gunderson for a proof of concept, which I reworked
extensively.

decompression if requested via DECOMPRESS_ALLOW_INPROCESS. Update all
callers to pass a flags argument (0 unless otherwise stated).

Avoid a manconv subprocess in more cases
Suggested by Steinar H. Gunderson.
* src/manconv_client.c (add_manconv): Return early if the source and
target encodings are equal, not just if they're both UTF-8.
2022-01-22 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Make manconv error handling less abrupt
Exiting immediately on errors works OK if manconv is only ever used in a
subprocess, but that approach makes it hard to use in an in-process
context.
* src/manconv.c (add_output): New function, factored out of try_iconv
and manconv.
(tried_iconv): New enumeration.
(try_iconv): Use add_output. Return TRIED_ICONV_FATAL where we would

2022-01-19 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Add a layer of abstraction to decompression
It would be useful to have an optimized version of the common case of
zlib decompression that doesn't involve forking subprocesses. As
preparation for this, insert an abstraction layer around code that reads
from decompressors. This abstraction layer looks almost identical to
the `libpipeline` API except for name changes, but having it allows us
to implement decompression in some other way.
Code that requires `libpipeline`-based decompression can use
`decompress_get_pipeline` to assert that the decompressor uses
`libpipeline` and return the underlying `pipeline *`.
* src/decompress.c (enum decompress_tag, struct decompress,
decompress_new_pipeline, decompress_get_pipeline, decompress_start,
decompress_read, decompress_peek, decompress_peek_skip,
decompress_readline, decompress_peekline, decompress_wait,

`pipeline *`.

Remove AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
I enabled this in fb4afb0b75, saying that timestamps were too fragile
for the rebuild rules to work well. However, I've changed my mind: git
is good at making sure that file modification times are updated when
checking out a different commit, and tarballs include timestamp
information. Moreover, with `AM_MAINTAINER_MODE` and without passing
`--enable-maintainer-mode`, flex output isn't automatically regenerated,
which is impossibly annoying and has tripped me up countless times since
2010.
* configure.ac (AM_MAINTAINER_MODE): Remove.

Avoid libpipeline linkage in libman
Since it's only used by one function, and not all of man-db's tools need

Reduce overhead of MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1
If MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1 is set (or if seccomp is otherwise
unavailable), then there's no need to call seccomp_init and friends,
which can have significant overhead even if we never actually load the
resulting filter.
Pointed out by Steinar H. Gunderson in https://bugs.debian.org/1003089.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): Return NULL early if

Pacify gcc -fanalyzer in dbdelete
The refs list can't in fact be empty by this point (because we checked
earlier that we could look up this_ref in it), but it's hard for "gcc
-fanalyzer" to prove that, so help it understand that multi_content can
never end up being NULL.
* libdb/db_delete.c (dbdelete): Initialize multi_content before looping
over refs.
2022-01-02 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Assert that some xasprintf calls return non-NULL
"gcc -fanalyzer" notices that xasprintf can return NULL in some
situations (string length > INT_MAX, invalid format string, or multibyte
conversion error), and that we weren't handling this in various cases
where we use the return value in contexts that require non-NULL values.
The situations seem obscure enough for simple asserts to be appropriate.

Update to Gnulib 20211231
In line with Gnulib, we now require Autoconf 2.64.
* bootstrap: Sync to Gnulib 14db2b71b5bd05b94ec6126617fd32cd5f1016cd.
* bootstrap.conf (GNULIB_REVISION): Set to
14db2b71b5bd05b94ec6126617fd32cd5f1016cd.
(buildreq): Bump required autoconf version to 2.64.
* configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Bump to 2.64.
(--enable-gcc-warnings): New option, based on code in coreutils. Use
this to enable -fanalyzer only if --enable-gcc-warnings=expensive is
used; it's useful but slow.
* include/manconfig.h.in (create_tempdir, appendstr): Move NODISCARD to
the start of these function declarations, required by draft C2x.
* patches/argp-domain.patch: Rebase.
* NEWS: Document this.

Fix NULL dereference in get_locale_charset callers
* lib/encodings.c (get_canonical_charset_name): Declare argument and

"ANSI_X3.4-1968" if locale_charset returned NULL or the empty string.
2022-01-02 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Trim down direct Gnulib dependencies a little
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add c99 (already used indirectly, but
seems like a good idea to request directly now). Remove getopt-gnu,
lock, and unsetenv, none of which we use directly. Replace fcntl with
fcntl-h and signal with signal-h, since we use the corresponding header
files directly but not the corresponding functions.
* .gitignore: Remove lib/getopt.h.
2022-01-01 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix warnings with Autoconf >= 2.70
* configure.ac (AC_PROG_LEX): Add noyywrap argument (new in Autoconf

* m4/man-bdb.m4 (MAN_CHECK_BDB): Autoconf 2.70 warns about non-literal
arguments to AC_CHECK_HEADERS. Refactor loops so that the header and
library names are visible to m4.
2022-01-01 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

This plays slightly better with clang-format.
* lib/sandbox.c (SC_ALLOW_PERMISSIVE): New macro.
(make_seccomp_filter): Use SC_ALLOW_PERMISSIVE instead of forms such as
"if (permissive) SC_ALLOW (name);".
2022-01-01 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Use Gnulib attribute.h properly
manconfig.h previously used _GL_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF_SYSTEM without
first including "stdio.h", which caused build failures. We should be

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add attribute.
* include/manconfig.h.in (create_tempdir, appendstr): Use NODISCARD
rather than _GL_ATTRIBUTE_NODISCARD.
* include/manconfig.h.in (debug, debug_error): Use ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT

* src/man.c (parse_opt): Remove an enclosing block and associated
indentation level, since C99 allows mixing declarations and code.
2022-01-01 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Pacify pre-commit
* lib/mp.h: Remove trailing whitespace.
2022-01-01 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Simplify interface to container iterator macros
The Gnulib container iterator macros (GL_LIST_FOREACH_* and
GL_MAP_FOREACH_*) have to run code both before and after a chunk of
user-supplied code. This previously required a START/END macro pair
used something like this:
GL_LIST_FOREACH_START (names, name) {
...
} GL_LIST_FOREACH_END (names);
This doesn't look natural in C, and so it was easy to get it wrong.
It's possible to do better, at the cost of some tricky macros.
Fortunately, Simon Tatham has already done the hard work in
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/mp/, and the necessary
header file is MIT-licensed, so we can incorporate it. Now these
iterator macros are used more like this, which is a much more natural C
style:
GL_LIST_FOREACH (names, name) {
...
}
* lib/mp.h: New file.
* lib/Makefile.am (libman_la_SOURCES): Add mp.h.
* lib/README: Add mp.h. Rephrase introductory text about licensing to
account for an MIT-licensed file.
* lib/glcontainers.h (GL_LIST_FOREACH_START, GL_LIST_FOREACH_END):
Rewrite as ...
(GL_LIST_FOREACH): ... this. Update all callers.
(GL_MAP_FOREACH_START, GL_MAP_FOREACH_END): Rewrite as ...
(GL_MAP_FOREACH): ... this. Update all callers.
* NEWS, README.md, docs/HACKING: Document C99 compiler requirement.

Simplify some GCC attribute handling
* include/manconfig.h.in (ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF,
ATTRIBUTE_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT, ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL): Remove in favour of
Gnulib-provided macros.
(create_tempdir, appendstr): Use _GL_ATTRIBUTE_NODISCARD rather than
ATTRIBUTE_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT.
(debug, debug_error): Use _GL_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF_SYSTEM rather than
ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF.
(appendstr): Use _GL_ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL rather than ATTRIBUTE_SENTINEL.
* lib/debug.c (vdebug): Use _GL_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF_SYSTEM rather
than ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF.

Allow clock_gettime64; return ENOSYS so libcs can engage fallbacks
libcs such as musl expect ENOSYS to be returned (not EPERM) in their
fallback code, so change the seccomp filter to be more agreeable to
them.
At the same time, clock_gettime is permitted in the filter, so permit
clock_gettime64 as well -- it will be needed by 2038 in any case.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): Set default action to
SCMP_ACT_ERRNO (ENOSYS). Allow clock_gettime64.

Remove "Type" column from DB table in mandb(8)
The database types table in mandb(8) has always been a bit
dubiously-placed; it's really more about how man-db is configured, and
as such makes more sense in manual/db.me (which indeed has an extended
version of the same table). It causes particular problems in translated
versions of this page, where it's very easy for it to become too wide
and cause "make check" failures.
A proper fix for this would probably require updating existing
translations, but an easy improvement is to remove the "Type" column: it
has negligible relevance here, and removing it makes it much easier for
translated versions to stay within page width limits.
* man/man8/mandb.man8 (DATABASE CACHES): Remove "Type" column from
table.

Avoid po4a confusion with \c
po4a >= 0.58 (I think) changes its handling of \c slightly, resulting in
incorrect output for the admittedly awkward uses of \c in man(1).
Rearrange markup to avoid this.
* man/man1/man.man1 (OVERVIEW): Recast description of the syntax of
locale environment variables using \f[BIR] rather than .B/.RI and \c.

translations.

Fix po4a version comparison
po4a's versions don't quite conform to Perl's standard versioning
arrangements, producing very confusing results when trying to compare
two-component and three-component versions (because "0.47" is equivalent
to "v0.470.0"). Perhaps we should use some other version comparison
system instead, but in the meantime patch things up so that what we
currently use behaves more sensibly.
* man/po4a/Locale/Po4a/Manext.pm (_parse_version): New subroutine.

leading "v" on the right-hand side.

Make gxditview work with seccomp sandbox
"man -X" and friends used to work by running groff with -X, causing it
to run gxditview itself. This didn't work with the seccomp sandbox: the
sorts of system calls that a text processor needs to make are not very
much related to the sorts of system calls that an X client needs to
make.
Instead, run groff with -X -Z to pass the appropriate options to troff
but stop it from running gxditview, and then run gxditview ourselves
without sandboxing. This also lets us set a better window title.
* src/man.c (make_roff_command): In gxditview mode, run groff with -Z as

Fix language/territory candidate comparison logic
When I extracted the COMPARE_LOCALE_ELEMENTS macro, I apparently left in
an explicit reference to territory that should have been the "elt"
parameter. As a result, some cases of language and territory comparison
went wrong, in particular resulting in pt_BR users seeing pt pages ahead
of pt_BR pages.
Reported by Rafael Fontenelle.

comparison in COMPARE_LOCALE_ELEMENTS.

Release man-db 2.9.0-pre1
2019-09-30 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Add a new man-recode program
This has an interface designed for bulk conversion, and so can be much
faster than running "man --recode" on each page.
Fixes Debian bug #933576.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add renameat, tempname, and unlinkat.
* src/man-recode.c: New file.

lexgrog, zsoelim: Suppress more compiler warnings
-Wsuggest-attribute=malloc was added in GCC 8, so don't try to ignore it
with earlier versions.
* src/lexgrog.l: Guard '#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored
"-Wsuggest-attribute=malloc"' so that it is only invoked with GCC >= 8.

apropos(1), whatis(1): Fix typo
Already fixed in man(1) by commit

Suggested by Tanguy Ortolo and Paul Wise. Fixes Debian bug #677350.
* src/man.c (split_page_name): Accept "page(section)" form as well as
"page.section".
* src/tests/man-suffixed-extension: Test the "page(section)" form.
* man/man1/man.man1 (SYNOPSIS): Don't mention the "page.section" form
here; it gets too unwieldy to try to express all the possibilities in a
synopsis.
(EXAMPLES): Document "page(section)" form.
(OPTIONS): Hyphenate "Non-argument options" thus.
* NEWS: Document this.
2019-09-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Make some debugging output less verbose
Also indent some sections of debugging output, which allows removing
some blank lines.
Fixes Debian bug #863920.
* src/catman.c (main): Remove unnecessary debugging output of manp
before calling create_pathlist.
* src/manp.c (main): Likewise.
* src/mandb.c (main): Likewise.
* src/man.c (main): Remove debugging output of ruid and euid, which was
redundant with init_security. Remove extra newline before "using %s as
pager".
* src/manp.c (describe_flag, print_list): Remove: everything that adds
items to this list already emits a more human-friendly debugging
message. Remove caller of print_list.
(add_sections): Squash debugging output onto one line, and indent it by
two spaces.
(add_def, add_manpath_map, add_mandb_map, add_mandatory): Indent
debugging output by two spaces.
(read_config_file): Remove extra newline after "From the config file
%s:".

debugging output. Indent "adding %s to manpath" by two spaces.
(add_man_subdirs): Remove noisy "and doesn't have ../man, man,
../share/man, or share/man subdirectories" debugging output.
2019-09-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Refactor deduplication in create_pathlist
This is more efficient, and also has the useful side-effect of reducing
noise in debug output.
* src/manp.c (struct canonicalized_path): New structure.
(canonicalized_path_new, canonicalized_path_equals,
canonicalized_path_hash, canonicalized_path_free): New functions.
(add_dir_to_path_list): Canonicalize the given path and (if it exists)
add both the original and canonicalized versions as a pair.
(create_pathlist): Simplify: rather than doing a second quadratic-time
pass to eliminate duplicates, we now avoid inserting them in linear time
as we go along.
2019-09-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
man(1): Explain interactions between -w/-W and -a
Reported by Bjarni Ingi Gislason. Fixes Debian bug #803712.
* man/man1/man.man1 (Main modes of operation): Explain that the -w and
-W options only print a single match by default, but that -a can be used
to print all matches.
2019-09-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Suggest "man man" if run with no arguments
Fixes Debian bug #869798.
* src/man.c (gripe_no_name): Suggest running "man man".
* NEWS: Document this.
2019-09-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* NEWS: Document recent manual page improvements.
2019-09-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Mention where other manual pages come from
* man/man1/man.man1 (OVERVIEW): Explain that individual manual pages
normally come with whatever they document.
2019-09-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Revamp man(1) to be a more accessible introduction
Fixes Savannah bug #53050.
* man/man1/man.man1 (SYNOPSIS): Delete details of most options, as it
had got much too long and indigestible. The OPTIONS section below
remains, and is better-organised and easier to read. Delete the "man
-c" form entirely, as it's only for internal use by catman.
(DESCRIPTION): Move list of default sections to ...
(DEFAULTS): ... here.
(EXAMPLES): Use a real example rather than the peculiar "alias"
terminology for "man -t".
(OVERVIEW): Various minor editorial improvements. Remove discussion of
index database caches: it's mostly irrelevant to users, and is already
better-documented in mandb(8), apropos(1), and whatis(1). Simplify
discussion of where pages are stored. Briefly describe what cat pages
are. Rewrite description of localisation support to read more fluently
and to take into account that most users will already have a suitable
locale set up. Drop discussion of translations of this package's own
messages: this should be standard rather than something that we
explicitly need to call out here, and the term "message catalogues" was
opaque.
(DEFAULTS): Remove discussion of index database caches, as above.
Remove discussion of cat pages, since this is an implementation detail
and confused matters here too much.
(Finding manual pages): Tighten up language in description of
--sections. Simplify description of --update, and tell readers that it
is normally better to run mandb(8) instead.
(FILES): Remove mention of index database caches from here. While
man(1) does use them, they're an implementation detail and are
better-documented elsewhere.
(SEE ALSO): Remove overly-detailed cross-references to setlocale(3),
ascii(7), latin1(7), the man-db manual, and the FSSTND. Add a paragraph
mentioning documentation in other formats, such as info(1) or HTML.
* man/man5/manpath.man5 (FORMAT): Remove stray quote before the FSSTND
keyword.
* man/man8/mandb.man8 (DESCRIPTION): Remove claim that index database
caches are usually maintained by man(1).
* man/man1/man.man1, man/man1/manpath.man1: Use the "..." style of
quoting rather than the `...' style.
2019-09-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Improve documentation of MANROFFOPT
Reported by Bjarni Ingi Gislason. Fixes Debian bug #914938.
* man/man1/man.man1 (ENVIRONMENT): Rephrase description of MANROFFOPT to
make it clear that it is added to the formatter's command line, rather
than to man's command line.
2019-09-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Remove confusing use of "on-line"
Nowadays "on-line" tends to be understood as "on the internet" rather
than "on a screen", so avoid the term.
Reported by Dan Jacobson. Fixes Debian bug #774402.
* docs/man-db.lsm: Say "system help files" rather than "on-line help
files".
* man/man1/man.man1 (NAME): Say "system reference manuals" rather than
"on-line reference manuals".
* manual/intro.me (Introduction): Say "information" rather than "online
information".
* manual/man_db.me: Say "manual page system" rather than "online manual
page system".
* man/man1/lexgrog.man1 (EXAMPLES): Update examples quoting man(1)'s
description.
* manual/db.me (Example database): Likewise.
* manual/intro.me (Introduction): Likewise.
* src/tests/man-mandatory-manpath: Update test quoting man(1)'s
description.

Tidy up formatting of Wilf's name

(FILES): Add a space around "|" to increase readability.
(AUTHOR): Protect "." with "\&" if it is followed by a space and does
not mean the end of a sentence.
2019-09-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Apply italic corrections
Partly based on suggestions from Bjarni Ingi Gislason in Debian
bug #892421, although I had to take a slightly different approach to
avoid confusing po4a.

descriptions of --sections and --systems. Simplify three-font handling
for --systems.
* man/man1/man.man1 (Finding manual pages): Likewise.

man(1): Minor typographic changes
Fixes Debian bug #892230.
* man/man1/man.man1 (DESCRIPTION, HISTORY): Protect "." with "\&" if it
is followed by a space and does not mean the end of a sentence.
(EXAMPLES): Use a macro to change to the italic font instead of \fI if
possible. The macros have the italic corrections.
(EXAMPLES, Controlling formatted output, Getting help, SEE ALSO): Change
.BR/.IR to .B/.I if there is only one argument, or else separate the
second argument from the first if needed.
(DEFAULTS): Begin each sentence on a new line.
(FILES): Add a space around "|" to increase readability.

%sections% on its own line.
2019-09-07 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Escape %troff% expansion correctly in manual pages
Fixes part of Debian bug #892230.
* configure.ac: Substitute troff_as_troff_input, which is the same as
troff but with suitable escaping so that "groff -mandoc" turns into
"groff \-mandoc".
* man/replace.sin.in (%troff%): Substitute @troff_as_troff_input@ rather
than @troff@.
2019-09-07 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

Order results manually for NDBM as well as GDBM
Commit 3a753221a3dddaf4870a86a4dca4771ed2cd80b3 in 2003 (!) worked
around the fact that GDBM's firstkey/nextkey interface doesn't return
ordered results. However, at least when using GDBM's NDBM compatibility
interface, this may be true for NDBM too. Extend the manual result
ordering code to cover both of these backends.
* libdb/db_gdbm.c (parent_keys, datum_compare, datum_equals, datum_hash,
datum_free, empty_datum, man_gdbm_firstkey, man_gdbm_nextkey,
man_gdbm_close): Move to ...
* libdb/db_xdbm.c (parent_keys, datum_compare, datum_equals, datum_hash,
datum_free, empty_datum, man_xdbm_firstkey, man_xdbm_nextkey,
man_xdbm_close): ... here (new file).
* libdb/db_xdbm.h: New file.
* libdb/db_gdbm.c (unsorted_firstkey, unsorted_nextkey, raw_close): New
functions, wrapping gdbm_firstkey, gdbm_nextkey, and gdbm_close
respectively.
(man_gdbm_firstkey, man_gdbm_nextkey, man_gdbm_close): Add GDBM-specific
wrappers for the generic man_xdbm_* functions.
* libdb/db_ndbm.c (man_ndbm_close): Move NDBM-specific code ...
(raw_close): ... here.
(unsorted_firstkey, unsorted_nextkey): New functions, wrapping
dbm_firstkey and dbm_nextkey respectively.

* src/accessdb.c (help_filter): Disable -Wformat-nonliteral around this
function.
* src/man.c (help_filter): Likewise.

2019-08-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Pacify gcc -Wnull-dereference
* src/accessdb.c (main): Add an assertion to help the compiler prove
that dbf is non-NULL. (It doesn't know that error (FATAL, ...) is
non-returning.)
2019-08-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Add several function attributes suggested by GCC
* lib/debug.c (vdebug): Mark first argument as a printf format string.

2019-08-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Remove several unused macros

declaration to the top level.
2019-08-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Add some missing includes

2019-08-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Simplify some GCC attribute handling
* lib/orderfiles.c (order_files) [!HAVE_LINUX_FIEMAP_H &&

2019-08-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Pass database file name in function parameters
Storing it in a global variable with an unresolved symbol from libmandb
was never very clean, and caused linking complications on some
platforms.
Fixes Savannah bug #56734.
* libdb/mydbm.h (database): Remove external symbol.
* src/accessdb.c: Remove obsolete comment.
* src/catman.c (database): Remove global variable.
(parse_for_sec): Add database parameter. Update all callers.

2019-08-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Use MYDBM_FILE->name for error messages
We previously used the global "database" variable, but we were either
also passing a MYDBM_FILE around already or could easily do so, and it's
cleaner to get the file name from there now that it's consistently
available on all backends.
* libdb/db_lookup.c (gripe_corrupt_data): Add dbf parameter. Get file
name from dbf->name rather than from the global database variable.
Update all callers.
(gripe_replace_key, split_data, split_content): Add dbf parameter.
Update all callers.
(dblookup_pattern): Get file name from dbf->name rather than from the
global database variable.

* src/whatis.c (do_apropos): Likewise.
2019-08-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Store database file name alongside its handle
The GDBM backend already did things this way, but it's convenient to do
it the same way for all backends.
Rename libmandb's various backend-specific functions to be uniformly
man_<backend>_<operation>. In the cases of btree and ndbm there was
already no clash with the libraries they depend on, but this makes them
match the gdbm backend.
* libdb/db_btree.c (btree_close): Rename to ...
(man_btree_close): ... this.
(btree_flopen): Rename to ...
(man_btree_open): ... this. Wrap the returned file handle in a
man_btree_wrapper structure that remembers the file name.
(btree_replace): Rename to ...

Update all prototypes and callers for all renames.
(man_btree_close, man_btree_replace, man_btree_insert, man_btree_fetch,
man_btree_exists, man_btree_findkey, man_btree_firstkey,
man_btree_nextkey, man_btree_nextkeydata, man_btree_get_time,
man_btree_set_time): Take man_btree_wrapper parameter rather than DB *.
Update all callers.
* libdb/db_ndbm.c (ndbm_flclose): Rename to ...
(man_ndbm_close): ... this.
(ndbm_flopen): Rename to ...
(man_ndbm_open): ... this. Copy the given file name before passing it
to dbm_open, since at least GDBM's compatibility implementation declares
that parameter as non-const. Wrap the returned file handle in a
man_ndbm_wrapper structure that remembers the file name.
(ndbm_get_time): Rename to ...
(man_ndbm_get_time): ... this.
(ndbm_set_time): Rename to ...
(man_ndbm_set_time): ... this.
Update all prototypes and callers for all renames.
(man_ndbm_close, man_ndbm_get_time, man_ndbm_set_time): Take
man_ndbm_wrapper parameter rather than DBM *. Update all callers.

2019-08-23 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Remove unused sandbox variables
We no longer need these, having moved decompression code out of libman.
* src/accessdb.c, src/catman.c, src/globbing_test.c, src/manpath.c:
Remove "sandbox" global variables.
2019-08-22 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

NEWS: Document EPERM change
* NEWS: Document change from raising SIGSYS to returning EPERM.
2019-08-21 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Reorganise using @system-service set
systemd defines a @system-service set now which covers some of the ones
that were previously isolated here, so reorganise to take account of
that. No functional change.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): Reorganise using systemd's new
@system-service set.
2019-08-21 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Set default action to EPERM, not TRAP
Returning EPERM rather than raising SIGSYS is no less secure, and it's
more likely that code injected via LD_PRELOAD will be able to recover
from this somehow.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): Set default action to
SCMP_ACT_ERRNO (EPERM), not SCMP_ACT_TRAP.
2019-08-14 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Allow sendmsg in the ESET case
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): If libesets_pac.so is preloaded,

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12127).
2019-05-02 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Improve manual build portability slightly
* manual/Makefile.am ($(MANUAL).pp, .pp.dvi, .pp.ps, .pp.tdvi,
.tdvi.tps, .pp.cat, .pp.html): Use "mv -f" rather than just "mv", since
Automake seems to prefer that for its own rules.
2019-05-02 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Make manual build more robust against failures
Fixes Savannah bug #56254.
* manual/Makefile.am ($(MANUAL).pp, .pp.dvi, .pp.ps, .pp.tdvi,
.tdvi.tps, .pp.cat, .pp.html): Write output to *.new files and rename
into place, so that failures are properly retried in future runs.
2019-03-03 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Avoid configure error message if nroff is broken
* m4/man-gnu-nroff.m4 (MAN_PROG_GNU_NROFF): Adjust test arguments
slightly to avoid a spurious error message if nroff is sufficiently
broken that it doesn't produce numeric output for "\n(.g".
2019-03-03 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix warnings when configuring --without-libseccomp
* lib/sandbox.c (_sandbox_load): Mark sandbox and permissive parameters
unused when HAVE_LIBSECCOMP is undefined, to avoid warnings from "gcc
-Wunused-parameter".

* lib/README: Remove lower.*.
* lib/lower.c, lib/lower.h: Remove.
2019-02-05 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Simplify case-insensitivity in word_fnmatch
Using FNM_CASEFOLD saves us from having to lower-case the pattern
manually, and it also fixes the behaviour of "apropos -w" when given a
non-lower-case pattern.
* lib/wordfnmatch.c (word_fnmatch): Use isalpha and FNM_CASEFOLD rather
than manually lower-casing string or expecting pattern to have already
been lower-cased.
* NEWS: Document this.
2019-02-05 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Simplify case-insensitive comparisons in whatis
We can just use strcasecmp and similar functions rather than
lower-casing comparands manually.
In some corner cases this may result in matches that would not
previously have been returned (e.g. "whatis -w" with a non-lower-case
pattern).
* src/whatis.c (parse_name): Use strcasecmp and FNM_CASEFOLD rather than
manually lower-casing dbname or expecting pages to have already been
lower-cased.
(match): Use strcasestr and isalpha rather than manually lower-casing
whatis or expecting page to have already been lower-cased.
(parse_whatis): Remove lowpages parameter; pass pages directly to match
instead.
(do_apropos): Remove lowpages; parse_name and parse_whatis no longer
need it.
2019-02-04 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Import Gnulib's strcase module

Improve sandbox_free
* lib/sandbox.c (sandbox_free): Free sandbox->permissive_ctx too.
2019-02-04 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

* libdb/db_lookup.c (free_mandata_struct): Only free a single structure,
rather than following list pointers.
(split_content): Stop initialising pinfo->next.
(dblookup, dblookup_pattern): Convert to gl_list. Return a zero-length
list to indicate no matches, where previously we returned NULL.

* src/man.c (db_map_value_free): New function.

2019-02-03 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Replace hashtable with Gnulib containers
Since we're using Gnulib's container types anyway, we might as well
reduce the maintenance burden of local code, especially since the result
tends to be more concise.

xset.
* lib/glcontainers.h (GL_MAP_FOREACH_START, GL_MAP_FOREACH_END): New

(datum_equals, datum_hash): New functions.
(man_gdbm_firstkey, man_gdbm_nextkey, man_gdbm_close): Convert
parent_keys from a hashtable to a gl_map, and convert its values from
hashtables with manual linking to gl_lists using a hash for fast lookup
by key.
* src/check_mandirs.c (whatis_hash): Rename to ...
(whatis_map): ... this.

2019-01-26 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Use bool type where appropriate
Now that we're using <stdbool.h> anyway due to gl_list (with Gnulib

Automatically add more man directories to manpath
Will Starms reported that, if both ../man and ../share/man directories
(for example) exist relative to a directory on $PATH, then only the
first was considered.

sandbox: Work around Microsoft SCEP
This is a proprietary antivirus program and I've only been able to guess
at how to handle it. Note that it is no longer supported by Microsoft
and so users should probably replace it with something else, but I still
want to minimise the number of support requests I get related to it.

then allow some system calls related to sockets and System V message
queues.
* NEWS: Document this.

release.sh: Simplify Lex handling
release.sh had a hack to ensure that flex-generated scanners are fresh
in release tarballs. This is more easily achieved by configuring with
--enable-maintainer-mode, which causes Automake to enable the Lex
rebuild rule.

new whatis definition) transition to MAN_NAME.

Fail to configure if flex is needed but missing
Fixes Savannah bug #54541.
* configure.ac: Issue an error if AC_PROG_LEX didn't find a lexer
generator and either src/lexgrog.c or src/zsoelim.c is missing (as may
be the case when building from a git clone rather than a released
tarball).
2018-08-02 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

This exposed the fact that errors from unlink in the cleanup path were
previously ignored. We now issue a warning in the same way that
commit_tmp_cat does.

2018-07-27 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
* Version: 2.8.4.
2018-07-27 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Work around Gnulib/gettext mismatch
The versions of gettext infrastructure files installed by gnulib-tool
don't necessarily match our configured AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION, so we
need to fix things up in bootstrap.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Set --po-base to gl/ref-po
rather than gnulib/po.
(bootstrap_post_import_hook): Merge temporary gl/ref-po directory into
gl/po.

then allow msgset (second argument 0) and msgsnd.
* NEWS: Document this.
2018-07-15 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Allow some shared memory operations
These were previously only allowed when ESET File Security is in use,
but the Astrill VPN seems to require something similar, there are
doubtless other such preload hacks, and they're relatively harmless.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): Allow shmat (third argument
SHM_RDONLY), shmctl (second argument IPC_STAT), shmdt, and shmget
regardless of preloads.

Check for external formatter in correct directory
Check for mandb_nfmt and mandb_tfmt in the manual page hierarchy as
documented, not in the current directory. This was broken by the
working-directory-handling changes in 2.8.3.
Reported by Josh Triplett. Fixes Debian bug #901007.
* src/man.c (NFMT_PROG, TFMT_PROG): Remove leading "./".
(make_roff_command): Refactor confusing #ifdef forest. Prefix dir to
TFMT_PROG/NFMT_PROG rather than looking in the current directory. Don't
look for an external formatter at all if dir is NULL.
* NEWS: Document this.
2018-06-08 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Define an access(2) wrapper with clearer semantics
As usual for system calls, access(2) returns zero on success. However,
I generally think of it as "can we access this file in this way", where
boolean semantics would be more convenient, and find it too easy to
invert logic by accident when using the system call directly. Define a
CAN_ACCESS wrapper with boolean semantics.
* include/manconfig.h.in (CAN_ACCESS): New macro.

This is used by xz-utils >= 5.2.3 if the --threads=0 option is in use
(perhaps via XZ_DEFAULTS or XZ_OPT).

2018-04-06 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix invalid man-db.conf with --disable-cache-owner
Fixes Savannah bug #53575.

2018-04-06 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Rely on decompressors reading from stdin
This works better with downstream AppArmor confinement of decompressors.

2018-04-05 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Suppress spurious gettext headers in --help output
Some of man-db's commands have post-options help text but no pre-options
help text. Unfortunately, the way this works in argp (separating the
two sections using a '\v' character) means that this results in argp
trying to translate the empty string, which produces gettext catalog
headers. The easiest way to suppress this odd behaviour seems to be to
use a help filter function, so do that.
Reported by Rafael Fontenelle.
* src/accessdb.c (help_filter): Return NULL for ARGP_KEY_HELP_PRE_DOC.
* src/lexgrog_text.c (help_filter): New function.
(argp): Add help_filter.
* src/whatis.c (help_filter): New function.
(apropos_argp): Add help_filter.

2018-03-17 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Allow kill and tgkill outright
This is unfortunate but unavoidable: groff uses kill to explicitly pass
on SIGPIPE to its child processes, and we can't do any more
sophisticated filtering in seccomp.
Based on a patch by Paul Wise. Fixes Debian bug #892309.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): Allow kill and tgkill
unconditionally.
(adjust_seccomp_filter): Remove.
(_sandbox_load): Remove call to adjust_seccomp_filter.

sandbox: Handle qemu-user returning EFAULT
Fixes Debian bug #891109.
* lib/sandbox.c (_sandbox_load): Interpret EFAULT from seccomp_load as
meaning that seccomp is unavailable, since this can be returned by some
versions of qemu-user.
* NEWS: Document this.
2018-02-28 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Add some more ESET affordances
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): If libesets_pac.so is preloaded,
then allow some shared memory calls and checking for the existence of
other processes.
2018-02-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Work around snoopy
Fixes Debian bug #890861.
* lib/sandbox.c (search_ld_preload): Cache /etc/ld.so.preload contents
between calls.
(make_seccomp_filter): Allow some socket-related system calls if
libsnoopy.so is preloaded.
2018-02-25 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Generalise libesets_pac.so check slightly
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): LD_PRELOAD or /etc/ld.so.preload
can just contain "libesets_pac.so" without an explicit path, so make the
search slightly more permissive.
2018-02-20 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Handle /etc/ld.so.preload
At least ESET File Security may be configured using /etc/ld.so.preload
rather than the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, so unfortunately we
need to check that too.
* lib/sandbox.c (search_ld_preload): New function, handling both
LD_PRELOAD and /etc/ld.so.preload.
(can_load_seccomp, make_seccomp_filter): Use search_ld_preload.
2018-02-19 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Work around ESET File Security
This is a proprietary antivirus program, so this is only a best guess
from strace output. The choices are to disable the sandbox entirely or
to allow a few socket-related system calls if this antivirus program is
detected, and the latter is probably slightly better.
Reported by John Sivak.
* lib/sandbox.c (make_seccomp_filter): If LD_PRELOAD contains the
substring "/libesets_pac.so", then allow some socket-related system
calls so that the preload wrapper can talk to its daemon.
* NEWS: Document this.
2018-02-19 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Allow ioctl(fd, TIOCGWINSZ)
Patch from the anonymous reporter of
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?53183 (though I think is obvious for
copyright purposes given knowledge of the failing system call).
Fixes Savannah bug #53183 (maybe).

* NEWS: Document this.
2018-02-14 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
sandbox: Allow kill/tgkill for current process
xz is multithreaded, so the threading library may need to use tgkill to
pass signals between threads, for example when it receives SIGPIPE.
Fixes Savannah bug #53143.
* lib/sandbox.c (SC_ALLOW, SC_ALLOW_ARG_1, SC_ALLOW_ARG_2): Move macro
definitions out of make_seccomp_filter.

Change libseccomp logic to not be automagic only
Introduce --without-libseccomp configure option so that users can
disable seccomp even if libseccomp is available on the system.
The default is unchanged from before this patch. If no
--with(out)-libseccomp has been given on the command line, the macro
looks for presence of libseccomp and uses that if found.
* m4/man-libseccomp.m4: Guard pkg-config test with a command-line

2018-02-07 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Reduce number of MAN_OWNER ifdefs
* lib/security.c (init_security, running_setuid): Define
unconditionally, with stub behaviour if MAN_OWNER is undefined.
* lib/security.h (get_man_owner): Only declare prototype if MAN_OWNER is
defined.
* src/check_mandirs.c (chown_if_possible) [!MAN_OWNER]: Mark path
argument as unused.
* src/lexgrog_test.c (main): Call init_security unconditionally.
* src/man.c (main): Likewise.
* src/manconv_client.c (manconv_pre_exec): Define unconditionally.
(add_manconv): Simplify, since running_setuid is now always defined.
* src/mandb.c (main): Call init_security unconditionally. Use
get_man_owner rather than equivalent inline code.
* src/manp.c (get_def): Define unconditionally.
* src/manp.h (get_def): Drop macro alternative.
2018-02-07 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Fix manconv under seccomp when man is setuid
We must drop privileges before loading the sandbox.
Reported by Lars Wendler.
* src/manconv_client.c (manconv_pre_exec): New function.
(manconv_stdin): Move setuid hack to ...
(add_manconv): ... here, now implemented using a custom pre-exec hook.
We no longer have a fall-through if dropping privileges fails, since
that's now harder to do and wasn't really necessary in the first place.
2018-02-07 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Refactor do_system_drop_privs
Now that we have pipecmd_pre_exec, this can be simplified quite a bit.
* lib/security.c (drop_privs): New function.
(do_system_drop_privs_child, do_system_drop_privs): Remove.
* lib/security.h (drop_privs): Add prototype.
(do_system_drop_privs): Remove prototype.
* src/man.c (make_browser): Add drop_privs pre-exec hook to browser
command.
(format_display): Call browser using pipeline_run rather than
do_system_drop_privs, since it now has a pre-exec hook to drop
privileges.
2018-02-07 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Refactor sandbox attachment to be more composable
The sandbox interface now exposes the necessary load/free primitives,
and callers use them directly with pipecmd_pre_exec. This allows the
sandbox to be composed with other pre-exec hooks.
* lib/sandbox.c (man_sandbox_op, sandbox_attach,
sandbox_attach_permissive): Remove.
(sandbox_load): Rename to ...
(_sandbox_load): ... this.
(sandbox_load, sandbox_load_permissive): New functions.

attachment calls.

Add fallback pager if the compile-time default is not executable
A problem with man-db's man is that in the case of the user giving no
configuration via conf files, argv, or environment variables; man
defaults to less as pager (PAGER); but less may not be present on the
system. Sure, other pagers may be selected in aforementioned ways, but
then the defaults are overridden, making that unsuitable for
install-time configuration.
This patch makes man check (if that becomes relevant) if PAGER is
executable, further defaulting to cat (which is basically ubiquitous,
being in original Unix, POSIX, and GNU Coreutils) if it is not. Thus
the poor beginner Unix users without less installed will be able to
get man pages.
* src/man.c (sh_lang_first_word): New function.
(main): Skip configured pager if it is not executable.
* man/man1/man.man1 (Controlling formatted output, ENVIRONMENT):

Fix preprocessor handling after insertions
If man has added prefixes to a page to handle such things as disabling
hyphenation, then it also needs to take account of that when looking for
a preprocessor line at the start of the page.
Reported by Bjarni Ingi Gislason. Fixes Debian bug #867857.
* src/man.c (get_preprocessors_from_file): Skip over as many blocks
ending with an .lf macro as there are prefixes.
(get_preprocessors): Pass the number of prefixes through to
get_preprocessors_from_file.
(make_roff_command): Take pp_string as an argument rather than
dbfilters; callers should now call get_preprocessors themselves.
(display): Rename seq_ncmds to prefixes. Call get_preprocessors before
calling make_roff_command.

Eliminate dangerous setgid-root directories
man-db has created its cache directories as setgid root for nearly 20
years. This seems to have originated in https://bugs.debian.org/26002.
However, this has some dangerous consequences, such as:
http://www.halfdog.net/Security/2015/SetgidDirectoryPrivilegeEscalation/
It seems best to arrange for cache files and directories to be man:man
rather than man:root. To do this reliably, as well as adjusting various
chown and chmod calls, we make man and mandb be setgid man as well as
setuid man (except in the --disable-setuid case). This is a much
simpler and safer solution to the original problem, and doesn't
introduce any interesting new privilege since the man group's only real
purpose is to be the man user's primary group and nothing in cache
directories is group-writeable.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add lchown.
* lib/security.c (init_security): Record initial real and effective
group IDs as well as user IDs.
(drop_effective_privs, regain_effective_privs): Update gid.
* lib/xchown.c (xlchown) [HAVE_LCHOWN]: New function.
* lib/xchown.c (xlchown) [HAVE_LCHOWN]: Add prototype.
* m4/man-arg-setuid.m4: Set man_mode to 6755 rather than 4755 in the
--enable-setuid case.
* src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Check for man_mode being 6755
rather than 4755. Set the group of man and mandb as well as their
owner.
* src/check_mandirs.c (chown_if_possible): New function. This is
somewhat more careful than previous implementations, changes the group
as well as the user if possible, and prefers lchown if it is available.
(mkcatdirs): Drop S_ISGID from cat directories. Use chown_if_possible.
(fix_permissions, fix_permissions_tree): New functions to remove setgid
bit from existing cat directories.
(testmandirs): Call fix_permissions_tree.
* src/check_mandirs.h (chown_if_possible): Add prototype.
* src/man.c (commit_tmp_cat): Set cat file group as well as owner.
* src/mandb.c (check_chown): Remove.
(do_chown): Stop taking a uid parameter. Use chown_if_possible.
(mandb): Use chown_if_possible for CACHEDIR.TAG. Set ownership and
permissions of CACHEDIR.TAG even if it already exists.
(process_manpath): Set ownership of database files even if they have not
been changed.
2016-12-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

* m4/man-arg-setuid.m4: Set man_mode="755" if --disable-cache-owner was

2016-12-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Update manual for cache-owner/setuid changes
* manual/intro.me (Arguments to configure): Add --enable-cache-owner and

description of --disable-setuid.
* manual/misc.me (Modes of operation): Add --disable-cache-owner to the
non-setuid modes. Mention --enable-setuid rather than
--enable-setuid=USER.
* README (Non-generic arguments to configure): Update.
2016-12-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Allocate dbpaths on the heap rather than the stack
process_manpath's stack may have gone out of scope by the time cleanup

2016-12-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Handle cleanup stack more safely
If push_cleanup was called unexpectedly between a
push_cleanup/pop_cleanup pair, then the pop_cleanup would remove the
wrong cleanup function and chaos could ensue. Avoid this by being more
precise about which cleanup function should be popped.
* lib/cleanup.c (pop_cleanup): Take "fun" and "arg" arguments. Pop the
topmost matching function from the stack, rather than just the topmost
function. Update all callers and prototypes.

Separate cache owner from --enable-setuid option
It's useful to have a notion of the cache owner even when man is not
installed setuid. --enable-setuid no longer takes an argument, and the
owner is now set by the --enable-cache-owner option instead.
* m4/man-arg-cache-owner.m4: New file.
* m4/man-arg-setuid.m4: Stop accepting an argument. Only set man_mode,
not man_owner.
* configure.ac: Call MAN_ARG_CACHE_OWNER.
* src/Makefile.am (install-exec-hook): Only chown man and mandb if
man_mode is 4755 (as well as the existing test for man_owner being
non-empty).

Fix use-after-free in ult_src
Reported by Hanno Boeck. Fixes Savannah bug #45854.

man: Avoid dubious use of freopen to reopen base streams
freopen doesn't actually work properly when base streams have been
closed (at least with glibc), and it seems better to simply refuse to
operate in such a non-conforming environment.
* src/man.c (check_standard_fds): New function.
(main): Call it rather than using freopen.
2014-11-16 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Allow building from git without gnulib-tool
Since we don't want to keep Gnulib translations in revision control,
we need gnulib-tool on $PATH when generating the build system in
order to fetch them, but it's unnecessarily awkward to require
everyone to have this just in order to build man-db from git. Allow
building without this, although it is still required for "make
dist".
* configure.ac: No longer issue an error if gnulib/po/Makefile.in.in
is missing. Instead, set the Automake conditional HAVE_GNULIB_PO to
true if and only if gnulib/po/POTFILES.in exists, and only create
gnulib/po/Makefile.in if gnulib/po/Makefile.in.in exists.

true.

Don't store canonicalised versions of manpath elements

Don't use pointed-to name as title for database-located pages

Formatting improvements to man(1)
Fixes Debian bug #726266.
* man/man1/man.man1: Protect "." at beginning or end of strings with
"\&". Start sentences on new lines. Insert italic corrections
between adjacent italic and roman characters. Use double quotation
marks around arguments rather than placing "\ " between strings.

2014-09-16 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Order files by first physical extent before reading
Inspired by a similar change in dpkg. This takes 'mandb -c' from
104 to 32 seconds in a test installation, and 'man -K' from 74 to 38
seconds. On non-Linux systems where FIEMAP is not available, use
posix_fadvise instead to preload files.
Fixes Debian bug #574410.

2014-09-15 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Reorder functions in man to remove need for header file
man.h was only needed because of some poor function ordering in man.c.
Reorder functions so that definition comes before use, except in one
case of mutual recursion.
* src/man.c (main): Move to end of file.
(local_man_loop): Move to immediately before man.
(man): Add a prototype declaration just before local_man_loop, to
cope with mutual recursion.

2014-09-12 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Remove old and broken FAST_BTREE code
This was marked as experimental and broken when I took over man-db
13 years ago, and I've hardly touched it. There's no point in
keeping it around.
* include/manconfig.h.in (FAST_BTREE): Remove commented definition.
* libdb/db_btree.c (test_insert, gripe_get, dbstore, dblookup):
Remove.

tests.
* src/tests/testlib.sh (next_second): Do nothing if STAT_HAS_NSEC is
"yes".

(Example database): Update example output.
* NEWS: Document this.
2014-09-10 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Move database mtime out of the database into file metadata
This makes the database reproducible between installations, as long
as the underlying database has predictable behaviour and the set of
installed manual pages (including their timestamps) remains
identical. As a bonus, we now use high-precision times in several
places.
Fixes Debian bug #760895.
* gnulib: Import futimens and timespec modules.
* libdb/db_btree.c (btree_get_time, btree_set_time): New functions.

ndbm_get_time, ndbm_set_time, btree_get_time, btree_set_time): Add
prototypes.
(MYDBM_GET_TIME, MYDBM_SET_TIME): New macros.
* src/check_mandirs.c (testmandirs, create_db, count_glob_matches,
purge_normal, purge_whatis, purge_missing): Use high-precision
times.
(update_db_time): Set file modification times rather than updating a
database row.
(create_db, purge_missing): Get database file modification times
rather than fetching a database row.
(purge_missing): If the new will_run_mandb argument is true, reset
the database mtime to its value before purging; this ensures that
mandb will still run as expected afterwards.
* src/check_mandirs.h (purge_missing): Update prototype.
* src/mandb.c (xcopy): Copy access and modification times.
(process_manpath): Work out in advance of purging whether we will
need to run mandb, and pass that to purge_missing.
* include/manconfig.h.in (VER_ID): Bump to 2.5.0.
(KEY): Remove.
* man/man8/accessdb.man8 (DESCRIPTION), man/it/man8/accessdb.man8
(DESCRIZIONE): Remove sample output, as it is of limited usefulness
compared to how awkward it is to maintain, especially in text
intended for translation.
* man/po4a/po/man-db-manpages.pot, man/po4a/po/*.po: Update.
* manual/db.me (Contents of an index database): Remove mention of
$mtime$.
(Example database): Remove $mtime$. Update $version.

database version change.
2014-09-09 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

2014-09-09 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Remove unused reset_db_mtime function

been unused since man-db 2.4.2.
* src/check_mandirs.h (reset_db_mtime): Remove prototype.
* src/man.c: Stop including "check_mandirs.h".
2014-09-09 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Don't purge entries from databases that fail sanity checks
* src/check_mandirs.c (purge_missing): Return early if
sanity_check_db fails, for instance in the case of a version
mismatch.
2014-09-09 Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Switch away from obsolescent utime function
POSIX.1-2008 marks utime as obsolescent. Switch to variants of the
futimens/utimensat family instead, via Gnulib. Use higher-precision
times for cat pages.
* gnulib: Import stat-time and utimens modules.
* src/man.c (man_modtime): Change type to struct timespec.

Move Autotools auxiliary build files from tools to build-aux.
