https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D244226 Bug ID: 244226 Summary: [patch] syslogd converts all 8-bit chars to M-x sequences Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: fbsd@opal.com Created attachment 211760 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D211760&action= =3Dedit patch to add locale support to syslogd when converting strings to "safe" sequences syslogd has code to convert all logged messages to "safe" strings. At the moment, the code converts control characters to "^x" sequences and A= LL 8-bit characters to "M-x" sequences. This means that printable characters = in character sets other than ASCII are converted and so do not display as expe= cted when viewing the logs. This patch adds LC_CTYPE locale support to syslogd and changes the "safe" conversion code to examine the logged characters using mbrtoc32() and to use iswgraph() to test if a character needs converting to safe sequences. It also uses vis() to do the conversion which is similar to OpenBSD but whi= ch means control chars become \C-x and non-graphical 8-bit chars become \M-x. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
