Bug ID: 2431
Summary: Form feed is not treated as whitespace in config
files.
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 6.9p1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Form feeds (aka \f, \014, ^L) are sometimes used to separate logical
sections in bigger files. Support for navigating files based on these
sections is common in editors. For example, vi can jump to the next
one using ]] and Emacs using C-x ].
I am used to insert them in all kinds of config files to ease
navigation as soon as their size becomes unwieldy. To my surprise,
inserting one in ~/.ssh/config produced a syntax error instead of
treating it as whitespace, as every other config file parser I've
come about until now does.
