Bug ID: 14411 Summary: --out-format is broken when using embedded whitespace (newline, tab) Product: rsync Version: 3.1.3 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: wa...@opencoder.net Reporter: ehar...@puremagic.com QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org Target Milestone: --- When trying to use --out-format to emulate some info provided by --progress, I discovered that it is impossible to make multiline log formats (it removes/ignores newlines completely), and also changes tab characters into the character sequence "\#012" plus the wanted tab. Example (with tabs shown as \t): > rsync -a '--out-format=%n \t%l %b' blah/ blah2/ file1\#012 21310 21353 file2\#012 10654 10697 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
