3 # Test how null bytes in the output of a command are handled. Make processes
4 # them using null-terminated strings, which may cut off some of the output.
5 #
6 # Before job.c 1.454 from 2022-09-03, make handled null bytes in the output
7 # from the child process inconsistently. It's an edge case though since
8 # typically the child processes output text.

10 # Note: The printf commands used in this test must only use a single format
11 # string, without parameters. This is because it is implementation-dependent
12 # how many times the command 'printf "fmt%s" "" "" ""' calls write(2).
13 #
14 # NetBSD /bin/sh 1 x write("fmtfmtfmt")
15 # Dash 1 x write("fmtfmtfmt")
16 # NetBSD /bin/ksh 3 x write("fmt") (via /bin/printf)
17 # Bash 5 3 x write("fmt")
18 #
19 # In the latter case the output may arrive in 1 to 3 parts, depending on the
20 # exact timing, which in this test makes a crucial difference since before
21 # job.c 1.454 from 2022-09-03, the outcome of the test depended on whether
22 # there was a '\n' in each of the blocks from the output. Depending on the
23 # exact timing, the output of that test varied, its possible values were '2a',
24 # '2a 2b', '2a 2c', '2a 2b 2c'.
