* lisp/eshell/esh-arg.el (eshell-quote-argument): Mention that this
function is for use within Eshell buffers.
(eshell-quote-backslash): Properly quote newlines.
* lisp/eshell/em-unix.el (eshell/cat, eshell/du): Throw
'eshell-external' instead; that's what it's here for.
* test/lisp/eshell/esh-proc-tests.el (esh-proc-test-quote-argument):
Remove.
(esh-proc-test/emacs-command):
* test/lisp/eshell/esh-var-tests.el (esh-var-test/path-var/set)
(esh-var-test/path-var/set-locally): Use 'eshell-quote-argument'.
* test/lisp/eshell/em-unix-tests.el (em-unix-test/compile/interactive):
Use 'shell-quote-argument' (Note: *not* 'eshell-...').
* lisp/eshell/esh-util.el (eshell-get-path): Don't add "." if it
is already there.
* test/lisp/eshell/esh-var-tests.el
(esh-var-test/path-var/preserve-across-hosts): Skip on MS-Windows.
(esh-var-test/path-var/set, esh-var-test/path-var/set-locally):
Quote the PATH value, for MS-Windows.
* test/lisp/eshell/esh-util-tests.el (esh-util-test/path/get): No
need to add ".": it is already done by 'eshell-get-path'.
* test/lisp/eshell/esh-proc-tests.el
(esh-proc-test/kill-pipeline): Accept empty string as valid
output.
(esh-proc-test/sigpipe-exits-process): Skip on MS-Windows: no
SIGPIPE.
(esh-proc-test/emacs-command): Quote correctly for MS-Windows.
* test/lisp/eshell/em-unix-tests.el
(em-unix-test/compile/interactive): Fix test on MS-Windows.
* test/lisp/eshell/em-script-tests.el (em-script-test/batch-file):
Skip on MS-Windows.
* test/lisp/eshell/eshell-tests-helpers.el
(eshell-command-result--equal): Compare strings (file names)
case-insensitively on MS-Windows.
This makes the built-in 'eshell/cat' 5-10x faster on large files in my
(somewhat limited) tests. In addition, this change periodically
redisplays when using the Eshell buffered output so that users can see
some progress.
* lisp/eshell/esh-io.el (eshell-print-queue-size, eshell-print-queue,
eshell-print-queue-count): Make obsolete in favor of...
(eshell-buffered-print-size, eshell--buffered-print-queue)
(eshell--buffered-print-current-size): ... these.
(eshell-buffered-print-redisplay-throttle): New user option.
(eshell--buffered-print-next-redisplay): New variable.
(eshell-init-print-buffer): Make obsolete.
(eshell-flush): Add new REDISPLAY-NOW argument in favor of CLEAR (which
only 'eshell-init-print-buffer' should have used).
(eshell-buffered-print): Compare queued output length to
'eshell--buffered-print-current-size'.
(eshell-with-buffered-print): New macro.
* lisp/eshell/esh-var.el (eshell/env):
* lisp/eshell/em-dirs.el (eshell/cd):
* lisp/eshell/em-hist.el (eshell/history):
* lisp/eshell/em-unix.el (eshell/cat):
* lisp/eshell/em-ls.el (eshell/ls): Use 'eshell-with-buffered-print'.
(flush-func): Remove.
(eshell-ls--insert-directory, eshell-do-ls): Remove 'flush-func'.
* test/lisp/eshell/em-unix-tests.el (em-unix-test/compile/interactive)
(em-unix-test/compile/pipeline, em-unix-test/compile/subcommand): Fix
indentation.
(em-unix-test/cat/file-output): New test.
* etc/NEWS: Announce these improvements.
* lisp/eshell/em-unix.el (eshell-compile, eshell/compile): New
functions.
(eshell/make, eshell-grep): Use 'eshell-compile'.
(eshell/glimpse): It's no longer necessary to let-bind 'null-device';
'eshell-grep' no longer calls 'grep' (the Lisp function), which needed
'null-device' to be nil for this case.
* test/lisp/eshell/em-unix-tests.el: New file.
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Built-ins): Document the 'compile' builtin.
* etc/NEWS: Announce this change (bug#65273).
