Subject: quotearg: shell escape issue with single quote
Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2024 21:16:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240331011611.21428-1-grishalevit@gmail.com> (raw)

If a string starts with a sequence that requires $'' quoting followed
by a \' and then another charactrer requiring $'' quoting, the '$' at
the start of the quoted string ends up missing:

    $ env printf '%q\n' $'\1\'\2'
    '\001'\'''$'\002'
