Subject: tests: stat: cover %N escaping of control characters
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cec863ff08f7b1c97a075efa25b8beb386a1da48;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

tests: stat: cover %N escaping of control characters

The default shell-escape quoting style escapes control characters in
file names (e.g. newlines) as $'...' sequences, but no test exercised
this; only the single-quote character was covered.
referenced here: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/9925

* tests/stat/stat-fmt.sh: Add a case with a file name containing
contiguous and separated newlines.
