* Version 5.0.1.
+ * src/tail.c:
+ Change type of n_units, n_bytes, n_lines to be `uintmax_t'.
+ (dump_remainder): Move two declarations `down' into the scope
+ where they are used.
+ (xlseek): Return the resulting offset.
+ (file_lines): Rename parameter, file_length, to end_pos.
+ (pipe_lines): Don't coerce safe_read return value to `int'.
+ Adapt tests accordingly.
+ (pipe_bytes) [struct charbuffer] (nbytes): Change type from `int'
+ to `unsigned int'.
+ Change type of `total_bytes' from `int' to `size_t',
+ since the former wouldn't always be wide enough.
+ Don't coerce safe_read return value to `int',
+ and adapt tests accordingly.
+ Now that testing for a read error no longer involves
+ using `tmp', handle that case *after* freeing `tmp'.
+ (start_bytes): Clean up.
+ (tail_bytes): Now that `n_bytes' may be larger than
+ OFF_T_MAX, test for that condition and, if it's true, don't
+ use lseek optimizations.
+ (parse_options): Don't fail just because N_UNITS is larger than
+ the maximum size of a file -- tail may be applied to an input
+ stream (e.g., a pipe) with more data than that.
+
* Makefile.maint (syntax-check): Rename from alloc-check.
Also check for SPACE-TAB sequences.
Also check for malloc/calloc/realloc casts.
- * src/tail.c (file_lines): Rename parameter, file_length, to end_pos.
- (pipe_bytes): Handle the case of a read error *after* freeing `tmp'.
