Hi Chris,
Hmm... Last time I checked,
"abc" "def"
Is a valid C string, and does not require a backslash. Do I miss something?
Yes, you are of course correct: the result is the C string "abcdef" and the backslash in the original is superfluous. However a grep for "abcdef" in the source code won't match it :( This is why splitting strings like this is discouraged in the Linux kernel.
Got it, thanks.
Cheers, Chris
Amicalement,
