            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-b=
it
number.

$ getextattr user umlauts foofoo     aeiou =C3=A4=C3=AB=C3=AF=C3=B6=C3=BC
$ getextattr -x user umlauts foofoo     61 65 69 6f 75 20 ffffffc3 ffffffa4
