| Summary | 0000270: When printing with %c from magic file, some characters are still escaped as \ooo in output even with -r option | ||||
| Description | Basically exactly what the title says, I came across this while trying to see if I could use a custom magic file to print a terminal bell. However, even if I pass the -r flag, file still escapes the terminal bell as \007 as long as I print it using %s. It's worth noting that it actually prints the bell character when I use the %c pattern. This only applies to %s, for some reason. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | I've attached both the custom magic file and a file containing a bell character to test it on. You can reproduce this by running `file -rm bell-magic bell-file`. | ||||
