Package: dash
Version: 0.5.5.1-7.4ubuntu1
Severity: normal
Note: I tested this against upstream 0.5.7 too, and this is the best
place I can find to report an upstream bug. Sorry if itâs the wrong
place.
$ dash
$ echo '\1'
In case thatâs not easy to read, the output is a control-A, i.e.
character code 1.
Other shells output the two characters backslash, 1, and as far as I
can tell, thatâs what should happen; certainly the dash man page says:
Enclosing characters in single quotes preserves the literal meaning of
all the characters (except single quotes, â¦
which suggests that inside single quotes backslashes should not be
special.
