Bug ID: 210607
Summary: patch to bin/cat/cat.c to align output between when
invoked with -be & -ne flags
Product: Base System
Version: 11.0-CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org

patch cat.c & ATF tests
The attached patch amends bin/cat/cat.c so the output is the same aside
from blank lines being numbered or unnumbered, depending on whether cat
was invoked with -ne or -be.
At present, when cat is invoked with -be, there is an aditional
difference that the '$' on blank lines is placed on the far left of the
output.
The patch originates from r1.17 of bin/cat/cat.c from NetBSD.
Additionally, the ATF test is amended to test for the behaviour correctly (the
test previously only checked if text was aligned, without blank lines where the
issue being tested for was present). This change is present upstream but
provided here in case a vendor import is not feasible at this time.
