From 3eed1c3fb211b235b3e26123a723f75db070c067 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Richard W.M. Jones" Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 17:46:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Escape special/non-printing characters in debug output (RHBZ#731744). The default event handler in libguestfs was simply writing all debug output directly to stderr. However if the output contains non-printable characters such as terminal control codes then these would also be sent directly. With newer SeaBIOS there is a lame attempt to implement a splash screen using terminal control codes, thus when libguestfs tries to display debugging output it would cause the screen to clear and debug output to be lost. This commit causes all non-printing characters to be escaped. (\n and \r characters from the appliance are treated somewhat specially). Furthermore, instead of using write(2), use buffered stderr calls.
