https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210344 Bug ID: 210344 Summary: ul(1) truncates long lines Product: Base System Version: 11.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: gahr@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 171507 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=171507&action=edit Accomodate long lines in ul(1) >From this mailing list post: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2016-June/049596.html ul(1) holds a static buffer of 512 characters and truncates any line longer than that. The attached patch allows expanding the buffer to accommodate lines longer than 512 characters. This is only done on the first occurrence of such a line, so for most files no dynamic allocation is needed. A version of the same patch with space changes ignored is also attached. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
