IRC question: appending newline to end of file
...43 < martingo_> any ideas
16:48 < martingo_> any help?
An example of what can go wrong is shown here:
$ guestfish -N fs -m /dev/sda1 \
write /foo "hello" : write-append /foo "goodbye\n" : hexdump /foo
00000000 68 65 6c 6c 6f 67 6f 6f 64 62 79 65 5c 6e |hellogoodbye\n|
0000000e
Notice that the literal characters '\' and 'n' have been added
to the file.
It helps to look at the API calls being made, by adding the
guestfish -x option:
$ guestfish -x -N fs -m /dev/sda1 \
write /foo "hello" : write-append /foo "goodbye\n"...
