doc: clarify that df now generally processes special files correctly
Since
v8.21-172-g33660b4, df not only treats symbolic link arguments
differently, as stated there, but now generally processes special file
arguments in a non-canonicalized form correctly:
$ cd /dev && df-old sdb
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs
1014572 48
1014524 1% /dev
$ cd /dev && df-new sdb
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb
10190136 6039532 3609932 63% /home
Document df's new behavior.
* doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): In the paragraph describing
df's behavior regarding special file arguments, relax the condition
for such special files from "... is an absolute name of ..." to
"... resolves to ...".
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention the new behavior also here.
