On most modern systems like GNU/Linux, read(2)-ing from a directory file
descriptor will fail with EISDIR, but it succeeds e.g. on GNU/Hurd and
AIX-7.1/AIX-7.2.
tests/find/files0-from.sh: Skip the test case excercising a directory
argument for the -files0-from option when the system allows reading
from a directory.
On GNU/Hurd, the value 0 is a valid inode number, and is e.g. used
for /dev/console and /dev/tty. The find(1) program aborted on this
platform when the user specified the -inum test and when the search
visited such a file.
$ find /dev/null /dev/tty -inum 40799 -printf '%i:%p\n'
40799:/dev/null
find: util.c:330: get_info: Assertion `p->st_ino' failed.
Aborted
Likewise, 'find -printf %i' aborted when hitting such a file.
* find/defs.h (get_info): Remove declaration.
* find/pred.c (pred_inum): Remove the redundant assert for ST_INO
as parse_inum sets need_inum=true which ensures that the inode number
is known.
* find/util.c (get_info): Declare static, and simplify: remove the
assertions for the inode number and file type.
While at it, add condition !state.have_stat in the need_stat case
for consistency.
* tests/find/inode-zero.sh: Add test.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Reference it.
Problem introduced by the inum optimisation in commit 2bf001636e6.

With the '-D stat' debugging option turned on, 'find -L' determined the
SELinux context information as if the -L (or -H) option was not given:
$ strace -ve getxattr,lgetxattr find -L . -maxdepth 0 -printf '%Z:%p\n'
getxattr(".", "security.selinux", 0x55b29a2b2d40, 255) = -1 ENODATA (No data available)

$ strace -ve getxattr,lgetxattr find -D stat -L . -maxdepth 0 -printf '%Z:%p\n'

the switch statement, thus eliminating the if/else.
Bug present since adding the SELinux implementation in v4.5.5-42-g1a05af6a.
find(1) supports both searching for and printing of the birth time

The script to copy the documentation for the web to the CVS checkout
directory took the files from 'doc'. But as those files do not
reference the GNU stylesheet, the resulting online documentation
didn't look as fancy as usual.
Instead, copy the files from 'doc/manual' which gets created by the make
target 'web-manual'.
* build-aux/update-online-manual.sh: Call the 'web-manual' make target
instead of building the documentation files in 'doc/' explicitly.
Adjust the commands to copy the just-generated files accordingly.
Remove the PostScript format as that does not get generated by the

Former versions of find are not vulnerable to this, because a closing
parenthesis ')' without anything before was treated as a pathname
rather than an option.
But this is possible now with the recent introduction of the -files0-from
option (see commit 11576f4e6a) - yet still an invalid invocation.
Reproducer for a crash:
$ find -files0-from FILE ')' -print
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
In the similar case when the user didn't specify any action, and find(1)
adds the default action via '( user-expr ) -print', the error diagnostic
was very confusing, too:
$ find -files0-from FILE ')'
find: invalid expression; empty parentheses are not allowed.
* find/tree.c (get_expr): Handle the cases when there's no predicate
before CLOSE_PAREN, and output a useful error diagnostic.
* tests/find/files0-from.sh: Add a test case for it.
