npc_ascii_controls:

# The following test prints the bytes 0x00 (inclusive) through 0x20
|

# (exclusive) and pipes them through npc(1). npc(1) should then replace all
|
||||
# non-printing, non-space (in the isspace(3p) sense) characters with their
|
||||
# graphical carat-char counterparts (see the npc(1) man page). The head(1p)
|
||||
# invocation then strips off everything past the first line (or past the
|
||||
# first newline byte, 0x0A) and xargs(1p) is used to test(1p) the output
|
||||
# against the known good answer.
|
||||
|
||||
# Immediately before that newline, 0x09 is printed - in ASCII, the
|
||||
# horizontal tab. If xargs' -I option is used, tr(1p) should used to delete
|
||||
# that tab. If the tab is left as part of input, OpenBSD's xargs(1)
|
||||
# implementation has been observed to strip it along with the other
|
||||
# trailing whitespace (the newline), but Busybox's and GNU's xargs(1)
|
||||
# implementations have been observed to leave the tab in. All three
|
||||
# implementations strip off the trailing tab if `-I` is not used. The POSIX
|
||||
# specification for `-I` is ambiguous as to which behavior is correct.
|
||||
# This comment is the result of much bewilderment and debugging.
|
||||
|
||||
# ASCII 0x00 to 0x0a (before the newline, due to xargs(1p) issues)
