Hi All, Working on the Ubuntu bug below where a battery unit is exposing non-printable characters via udev made me wonder: is the expected character encoding for all udev messages ASCII? Or is the expectation that the kernel simply acts as a pass-through (such that it is the responsibility of userspace to determine the exact meaning of such messages)? If ASCII is expected, should this be made manifest somewhere? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/829980 I'm happy to provide a kernel patch for the bug above, but need to understand whether the kernel should be sanitizing udev message content, or leaving that up to userspace. Kind regards, James. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
