Andreas Metzler ee402bdd3a xargs: warn on conflicting options -L, -I, -n
* xargs/xargs.c (warn_mutually_exclusive): Add function to output the
new warning diagnostic.
(main): Call the above new function in order to show a warning message
if conflicting options (-L -l -I -i -n) are specified.
* xargs/xargs.1: Explicitly document the fact that -L -l -I -i -n
options are mutually exclusive and how xargs behaves when more than one
of these options are specified.
* doc/find.texi (node Conflicting xargs options): Likewise, add this
section with examples.
* xargs/testsuite/config/unix.exp (xargs_start): Replace the full path
of the xargs executable in the stderr output file by its basename.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs.gnu/P3-n1-IARG.xe: Add file containing the
expected output with the new warning diagnostic.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs.posix/L2-n2.xe: Likewise.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs.posix/rc-123.xe: Likewise.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs.sysv/l1n4.xe: Likewise.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs/testsuite/xargs.gnu/P3-n1-IARG.exp: Ensure the
error diagnostic is in C locale to avoid false positives in other locales.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs.posix/L2-n2.exp: Likewise.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs.posix/rc-123.exp: Likewise.
* xargs/testsuite/xargs.sysv/l1n4.exp: Likewise.
* tests/xargs/conflicting_opts.sh: Add test coverage for combinations
of the mutually exclusive options -I -L and -n.
* xargs/testsuite/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST_EXP): Reference the new tests.
(EXTRA_DIST_XO): Reference the new *.xo files.
(EXTRA_DIST_XE): Reference the new *.xe files.
* NEWS (Improvements): Mention the change.
