Package: dash Version: 0.5.12-9+b1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: tmgr...@umich.edu
Dear Maintainer, Since issue 8 (2024), POSIX allows passing a delimiter to `read` with the `-d` flag. This flag is useful for the handling of null-terminated strings (`-d ''` specifies the null byte as the delimiter) which makes it easier to iterate the output of `find` and other similar utilities that may otherwise split on newlines. `dash` should add this flag at some point for the compatibility and usability benefits.
