@ -164,3 +164,18 @@ exit (elinks, for some strange reason, sets it to the value of TERM):
STY= `which elinks` $*
echo -ne \\033]0\;\\007;
}
* What's the proper way to escape characters with #(command)?
When using the character pair #(command), the command will be parsed twice.
First when it's read by the configuration file, or the command-prompt parser,
and another right before the command is passed to the shell by popen(3). As an
example, to echo the string (test) to the status line, one could use single,
or double-quotes (the meaning is the same as if in the shell):
set -g status-right "#(echo \\\\(test\\\\))"
set -g status-right '#(echo \\\(test\\\))'
With the double-quotes, the string when is first parsed will be set to
#(echo \\(test\\)), and then again parsed as echo \(test\) before passing the
command to sh -c.
