Subject: [bug] () { echo $#} $'' is zero
Date: Thu, 03 Mar 2016 15:16:34 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1533e4d3e82.cbf3800a134118.3897690426664036468@enosys.org> (raw)
Subject says it all. The empty string $'' is not passed to commands the same
way the empty strings "" and '' are:
$ count () { echo $#; }
$ count "" # okay
1
$ count '' # sure
1
$ count $'' # huh?
0
Any clue as to what's going on?
