Currently --robot works only with --info-memory and
--version. --help and --long-help work too, but --robot
has no effect on them.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for the original patches.
Separate a few reusable components from XZ Utils specific
code. The reusable code is now in "tuklib" modules. A few
more could be separated still, e.g. bswap.h.
Fix some bugs in lzmainfo.
Fix physmem and cpucores code on OS/2. Thanks to Elbert Pol
for help.
Add OpenVMS support into physmem. Add a few #ifdefs to ease
building XZ Utils on OpenVMS. Thanks to Jouk Jansen for the
original patch.
like "un", "cat", and "lz" when determining if
xz is run as unxz, xzcat, lzma, unlzma, or lzcat.
This is to ensure that if xz is renamed (e.g. via
--program-transform-name), it doesn't so easily
work in wrong mode.
--format=lzma. This means that xz emulating lzma
doesn't decompress .xz files, while before this
commit it did. The new way is slightly simpler in
code and especially in upcoming documentation.
compressing and decompressing. This should be OK now that
xz automatically scales down the compression settings if
they would exceed the memory usage limit (earlier, the limit
for compression was increased to 90 % because low limit broke
scripts that used "xz -9" on systems with low RAM).
Support spcifying the memory usage limit as a percentage
of RAM (e.g. --memory=50%).
Support --threads=0 to reset the thread limit to the default
value (number of available CPU cores). Use UINT32_MAX instead
of SIZE_MAX as the maximum in args.c. hardware.c was already
expecting uint32_t value.
Cleaned up the output of --help and --long-help.
the number of CPU cores. Added support for using sysinfo()
on Linux systems whose libc lacks appropriate sysconf()
support (at least dietlibc). The Autoconf macros were
split into separate files, and CPU core count detection
was moved from hardware.c to cpucores.h. The core count
isn't used for anything real for now, so a problematic
part in process.c was commented out.
