Source: hexedit Severity: wishlist Please add this autopkgtest that tests editing both non-empty and empty files by passing keys via terminal escape sequences and bytes. You will need to test-depend on colorized-logs for pipetty and ansi2txt. It should be possible to add more scenarios by typing keys into hexdump and converting those to the corresponding printf sequences.
#!/bin/sh
set -e
rm -f nonempty empty result
echo nonempty > nonempty
touch empty
echo result > result
for f in nonempty empty ; do
echo "Editing $f in hexedit"
printf "$f"'\n\tresult\x18y' |
pipetty hexedit 2>&1 |
ansi2txt |
tr '\r' '\n'
done
head -vn-0 nonempty empty result
for f in nonempty empty ; do
cmp "$f" result
done
