[PATCH] logger: remove trailing spaces when outputing to journal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Issues:
1. Whitespace-ish \r is not stripped, while it should be.
2. In journal \r is considered unprintable.

Lennart: "it is the duty of the client side to drop the trailing whitespace,
which "logger" doesn't do".
