Bug ID: 230507
Summary: sed 'q' command preventing -i from creating backup
Product: Base System
Version: 11.2-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
To reproduce
$ jot 5 > a
$ wc -c a # it's 10 bytes
10
$ sed -e '/2/d;q' a # this is the expected output
1
$ sed -i.bak '/2/d;q' a # demonstrate issue
$ wc -c a # it's still 10 bytes
10
$ ls a* # there's no a.bak file
a
I've not yet traced down the source of the issue, but there seems to be some
odd interaction between `q` and `-i`.
