Why? The documentation states: -b, --escape print C-style escapes for nongraphic characters but - looks like a graphical character to me, so it doesn't need an escape. I don't see a problem here, so I'm marking this as not a bug; however, feel free to followup with more details, such as better justification for why - should be treated as a nongraphic character. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
