Fix the flags for stat (again) (#601)

2026-06-22T10:36:43+00:00

* Revert "find: reset stat(2) flags before terminating" This reverts commit 228ee18fbe8cf408440e7bbe91db4ef201312983. * test: fix flags for stat with NOFORK test is a NOFORK applet, so the flags under mingw_stat may not have been reset before calling it. We have it so it also restores the flags after, since it could be called in the middle of another applet. This also needed a way to retrieve the flags, so they are just done through the return value. * Add comments about not having to restore flags Just for future reference * lineedit: use new flag restoring * win32: simplify mingw_access calling Since we now have a way to get the previous flags, mingw_access can be changed to ignore any stat flags * stat: comments from PR Adds 32 bytes.

win32: allow stat(2) to skip costly check for execute

2026-05-18T06:55:54+00:00

If 'ls' is invoked without the '-l' option (or something that's equivalent) and colour output isn't required, there's no need to perform the expensive check for execute permission. Allow 'ls' to inform stat(2) not to call has_exec_format(). This has been combined with the existing mechanism to enable counting subdirectories. With this change the command 'ls | wc -l' used in issue #589 doesn't perform the test which upset Windows' anti-malware thing. Adds 32-48 bytes. (GitHub issue #589)

ls: restore functionality of --color

2025-11-08T06:42:34+00:00

Since commit 551bfdb97 (ls: implement -q, fix -w0, reduce startup time) the '--color' option behaves as though the default argument 'always' had been specified. This is due to an explicit short option for '--color' being given, but without specifying that an argument is expected. function old new delta .rodata 106027 106029 +2 Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko

ls: restore functionality of --color

2025-09-16T11:41:35+00:00

Since upstream commit 551bfdb97 (ls: implement -q, fix -w0, reduce startup time) was merged the '--color' option behaves as though the default argument 'always' had been specified. This is due to an explict short option for '--color' being given, but without specifying that an argument is expected. (GitHub issue #522)

ls: add '-g' and '-C' to usage message

2025-08-26T08:55:24+00:00

For some reason upstream doesn't include the '-g' option in the usage message for 'ls'. Commit 551bfdb97 (ls: implement -q, fix -w0, reduce startup time) added a description but left it commented out. It didn't add 'g' to the list of options. 'C' appears in the list but its description is commented out. Adds 24-32 bytes. (GitHub issue #517)
