Bug 1771: support or reserve %q as printf-utility format specifier Accepted as Marked https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1771 We agreed to revisit this item and updated the response: After page 3275 line 111227 section printf, add two paragraphs to FUTURE DIRECTIONS: A future version of this standard is expected to add a %b conversion to the printf() function for binary conversion of integers, in alignment with the next version of the ISO C standard. This will result in an inconsistency between the printf utility and printf() function for format strings containing %b. Implementors are encouraged to collaborate on a way to address this which could then be adopted in a future version of this standard. For example, the printf utility could add a -C option to make the format string behave in the same way, as far as possible, as the printf() function. A future version of this standard may add a %q or %Q conversion (or both) to convert a string argument to a quoted output format that can be reused as shell input.
