Package: dash Version: 0.5.10.2-5 Hi,
POSIX specifies printf has no options, meaning these should print "-h" and "-- help" respectively. Arguments parsing must simply not be attempted at all in order to be compliant as far as I know. $ printf -h sh: 1: printf: Illegal option -h $ printf --help sh: 2: printf: Illegal option -- >From https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/printf.html: > SYNOPSIS > > printf format [argument...] > > ... > > OPTIONS > > None. Bash also does not handle this correctly. However bash is not POSIX sh, hence it is not a bug. (It appears bash some some "printf -v var" extension.) I also tested zsh, which appears to be fully compliant. Thanks -- Melvin Vermeeren
