The following reply was made to PR bin/125855; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@stack.nl> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, gcooper@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-standards@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/125855: sh(1) allows for multiline, non-escaped control structures (and thus isn't POSIX compliant) Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 12:58:53 +0200 > [ sh allows ! <newline> <command> ] I would consider this an extension to the standard, which sh(1) is free to implement. Removing the extension, possibly gratuitously breaking scripts, seems a bad idea. The script is what should be fixed. -- Jilles Tjoelker
