Is that the solution you had in mind?
quote_c_style(path, "ed_path, NULL, 0);
err = packet_write_fmt_gently(process->in, "pathname=%s\n",
quoted_path.buf);
Wouldn't that complicate the pathname parsing on the filter side?
Can't we just define in our filter protocol documentation that our
"pathname" packet _always_ has a trailing "\n"? That would mean the
receiver would know a packet "pathname=ABC\n\n" encodes the path
"ABC\n" [1].
Thanks,
