Subject: [PATCH v2] test: Fix printf error when debug is enabled
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 09:41:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250930014158.6949-1-yuhuang@redhat.com> (raw)

Running test pasta/tcp with debug enabled would get stuck with
below error:

  + printf 'DEBUG: ns     socat -u OPEN:__BASEPATH__/big.bin TCP6:[__GW6__%__IFNAME__]:10003\n'
  lib/term: line 38: printf: `_': invalid format character

The error occurs because printf interprets the % character as the
start of a format specifier, and the following '_' isn't one of
them.

Fix it by replacing 'printf "${*}"' with 'printf "%b" "${*}"'.
Also update the docstring.

Fixes: de28c20d8051 ("test: Update lib/term for clearer output when DEBUG is enabled")
