Perhaps it would be better to keep the part about concatenation (with corrected wording) and say that in the shell $'...' can be used in a similar way. Something like: On 2018 edition page 3115 line 104182-104185, after https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=249 is resolved change:<blockquote>In the ISO C standard, the "##" concatenation operator can be used to terminate a constant and follow it with a hexadecimal character to be written. In the shell, concatenation occurs before the <i>printf</i> utility has a chance to parse the end of the hexadecimal constant.</blockquote>to:<blockquote>In the ISO C standard, string literal concatenation can be used to terminate a constant and follow it with a hexadecimal character to be written. In the shell, similar concatenation can be done using <tt>$'...'</tt> so that the shell converts the hexadecimal sequence before it executes <i>printf</i>.</blockquote> Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2020-10-24 22:01 philip-guentherNew Issue 2020-10-24 22:01 philip-guentherName => Philip Guenther 2020-10-24 22:01 philip-guentherOrganization => OpenBSD 2020-10-24 22:01 philip-guentherSection => printf's APPLICATION USAGE 2020-10-24 22:01 philip-guentherPage Number => 3038 2020-10-24 22:01 philip-guentherLine Number => 102845 - 102848 2021-02-18 17:11 nick Relationship added child of 0000249 2021-02-18 17:12 nick Note Added: 0005248 2021-02-18 17:13 nick Status New => Resolution Proposed 2021-02-18 17:13 nick Resolution Open => Accepted As Marked 2021-02-18 17:14 nick Final Accepted Text => See https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1413#c5248 2021-02-18 17:15 nick Tag Attached: issue8 2021-03-15 20:53 mirabilos Note Added: 0005274 2021-03-16 10:01 geoffclare Note Added: 0005276 ======================================================================
