Solaris 8 was seen to issue this error:
"printf: `&': illegal format character"
* test/dd/ascii.sh: Use the coreutils printf in this test
rather than the system one, to avoid portability issues.
|
|
* tests/dd/ascii.sh: Quote so that '\\' is passed
to printf rather than a single '\', as that's not portable.
bash, dash, zsh and external solaris printf were seen to support
printf '\%03o' 1 2
while ksh, freebsh shell and external GNU printf need the more portable
printf '\\%03o' 1 2
Note we don't use env here to call the coreutils printf implementation,
as there are many printf calls, so relying on portable shell
implementations will be faster.

* tests/dd/ascii.sh: Avoid unnecessary subshells. Catch dd's
exit code. Remove testing artifact. In the case of a comparison
failure, show the differences in octal format in addition to
"binary files differ". Simplify the creation of the 'in' file.

Problem reported by Don Baggett in <http:/bugs.gnu.org/17422>.
* NEWS:
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Document this.
* src/dd.c (conversions): conv=ascii implies conv=unblock.
conv=ebcdic and conv=ibm imply conv=block.
(ascii_to_ebcdic, ebcdic_to_ascii): Correct to match
POSIX 1003.1-2013.
* tests/dd/ascii.sh: New file.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Add it.
