You probably want %b, as it's supposed to handle escapes.
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #4) > You probably want %b, as it's supposed to handle escapes. Yeah, that makes sense. This might also be a good opportunity to make the behavior more closely match Portage's implementation.
The bug has been referenced in the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/gentoo-functions.git/commit/?id=ce648e7539607a1809a1e4a037ade84bb4cde7b2 commit ce648e7539607a1809a1e4a037ade84bb4cde7b2 Author: Kerin Millar <kfm@plushkava.net> AuthorDate: 2023-02-15 07:35:20 +0000 Commit: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2023-02-15 07:43:55 +0000 Do not use %b to decode user-supplied message strings For a long time, user-supplied message strings were injected into format strings used by printf. Obviously, doing so was a bad thing because it would cause printf to interpret any escape sequences and format specifiers that might be present in the string. The issue of specifier injection was dealt with by the introduction of _eprint(). This commit deals with the remaining issue by eliminating the use of %b, whose only effect was to needlessly try to decode the message string according to the same rules as echo -e (for XSI-conformant systems).

All of this allows for a pleasing degree of code reduction while improving the structure of the functions overall, partly owing to a complementary reduction in the number of return statements. It also plots a course for the eventual implementation of proper TTY detection, in a context-sensitive manner.
