https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209039 Bug ID: 209039 Summary: getextattr(8) -x garbles non-ASCII bytes Product: Base System Version: 11.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: asomers@FreeBSD.org getextattr is used to print the value of an extended attribute on a file. The -x option prints the output in hex instead of ASCII. It prints one byte at a time, with spaces between bytes. However, when printing bytes with the high bit set, getextattr erroneously interprets the single byte as a signed 32-bit number. $ getextattr user umlauts foofoo aeiou äëïöü $ getextattr -x user umlauts foofoo 61 65 69 6f 75 20 ffffffc3 ffffffa4 ffffffc3 ffffffab ffffffc3 ffffffaf ffffffc3 ffffffb6 ffffffc3 ffffffbc -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
