Hey. Wanted to ask here, before I make (probably unnecessary noise at lkml).. O:-)
I just noticed that \r is not escaped in e.g. /proc/mounts (and possibly similar files that do such escaping). The output does in fact contain then a \r, so I guess parsing for most (all?) shell tools should be fine... and this be a non issue. But on the terminal, things get messed up and not necessarily in a noticeable way. Consider e.g. # mkdir $'a\rb' # mount -t tmpfs bar $'a\rb' # grep bar /proc/mounts b tmpfs rw,relatime,inode64 0 0x/a (as seen on the terminal) instead of a mount with $'c\rd': foo /root/strange-mount-points/c\012d tmpfs rw,relatime,inode64 0 0 Cheers, Chris.
