Previously, it was not possible to use
sha1sum test.c | sha1sum -c
because the program would not differenciate between an empty
argument and a non-specified argument.
Moreover, why not allow this?
sha1sum -c hashlist1 hashlist2
Digging deeper I found that using function pointers and a
modification in the crypt-backend might simplify the program
a lot by passing the argument-list to both cryptmain and
cryptcheck.
Allowing more than one list-file to be specified is also
consistent with what the other implementations support,
so we not only have simpler code, we also do not silently
break if there's a script around passing multiple files to
check.
This is a useful behavior if you want to reorder the lines,
because otherwise you might end up with originally two lines
on one, e.g.
$ echo -ne "foo\nbar" | sort
barfoo
We should never mix FILE I/O with raw I/O. Going from raw I/O
to FILE I/O is fine but doing the opposite is extremely tricky and
only works under certain conditions (unbuffered stream + no call
to ungetc()).
The -d option is a GNU extension and is equivalent to its "-P
--preserve=links" options.
Since we don't implement the --preserve=links functionality anyway (it
means preserve hard links between files), just call it -P, which is
specified by POSIX.
Additionally, there is no need to check for cp_Pflag again before
copying the symlink itself because the only way the mode in the stat
will indicate a symlink is if we used lstat (which we only do if -P is
specified).
