Bug 1789: if command name contains slash, it cannot be arg0 for execl() Accepted as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1789
We revisited this based on comments received.
Note: 0006621 has been updated as suggested by Note: 0006631
Bug 1791: tr: clarify encdings of non-characters bytes and proper encodings of the NUL byte and Rejected
https://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1791
Rejected, closed.
NUL is not a special case; NUL is a character in every locale. The
standard says that the strings specified by string1 and string2
contain characters. A single character in those strings may be
represented by one or more adjacent octal sequences that represent
individual bytes of a multi-byte character. The notes in the
APPLICATION USAGE and in the RATIONALE specify that tr -d
'\000' must remove NUL characters from the input stream. This
would also work with tr -d '\0' and tr -d '\00'.
But if one wanted to remove NUL characters and the character '1',
one would have to use tr -d '\0001' (or put the '1' before
the octal escape sequence for the NUL character, e.g. tr -d
'1\0'); not tr -d '\01' or tr -d '\001'.
Therefore, this bug is rejected.
We started on this item and will continue on the next call.
