Package: util-linux
Version: 2.13-8
Severity: normal
Hi,
I seem to have found a bug of getopt from the util-linux
package. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I believe that the suggested way to call getopt is
eval set -- `getopt -o <options> -- "$@"`
But I found that it can't handle parameters with spaces well:
$ set -- -t 'test p 1' 2
$ getopt -o t: -- "$@"
-t 'test p 1' -- '2'
Ok, so far so good, but:
$ eval set -- `getopt -o t: -- "$@"`
$ echo "'$2'"
'test p 1'
I.e., the parameter passed is "test p 1", but after the parameter
parsing, it becomes "test p 1" -- one space missing before '1'.
Comment?
