Subject: tests: write-errors.sh: avoid portability issue with dash
X-Git-Tag: v9.8~28
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5662192f391fd9c54c80aa992aba355aca10760e;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

tests: write-errors.sh: avoid portability issue with dash

* tests/misc/write-errors.sh: Use printf rather than echo
since the echo builtin in dash will interpret backslashes.
* tests/misc/read-errors.sh: Likewise for consistency.
