https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D265399 --- Comment #5 from Helge Oldach <freebsd@oldach.net> --- (In reply to Jilles Tjoelker from comment #3) > For example, the existing echo builtin allows 'echo -n STRING' for any st= ring, while the proposed patch breaks this for the string "-e". True, so we shouldn't loop over the arguments but only validate the first argument against being a string of options and check for '-en' or '-ne'. Th= is will also keep it in line with other built-ins. > Also note that -ne can be replaced by -e and adding \c to the last operan= d. True as well, but then the '-e' option and the '\\' detection logic could be removed as it's undocumented anyhow... --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
