If I understand correctly, then you have a script doing something like the following: $ mkdir "a dir" $ cd "a dir" $ cp -v /dev/null $(pwd) cp: target ‘dir’ is not a directory First of all, I want to mention that the invoked 'pwd' is a builtin in most shells, which means you have to e.g. specify the path like /bin/pwd to be sure to invoke the coreutils version of it. Second, the output of pwd(1) is correct - i.e., there is no such thing than escaping characters. Instead, the caller has to care about proper quoting: $ cp -v /dev/null "$(pwd)" ‘/dev/null’ -> ‘/tmp/a dir/null’ Therefore, I'm marking this as "not a bug" in our software. But in case of questions please don't hesitate to discuss this further by replying to this bug. Have a nice day, Berny
