Kudos for putting in the extra effort here for > the special formatting! Yeah, I didn't know how to easily get NUL bytes in the stream without printf, and once I was using printf the EOF HEREDOC no longer had a useful purpose. In the first testcase, since there were only printable characters in the expected output, a HEREDOC worked well. I guess I could have just used printf for both testcases, but having the literal output shown where it's possible for a human to read it seemed like an advantage worth capitalizing on. If anyone feels strongly that I should use printf for both tests, I can switch them though. > The rest of the patch looks good. Thanks for taking a look!
