[LU-17009] runtests failed to read file name with backslash

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 15:08:41 +0000

If a file in /etc dir has a name with backslash, then runtests will fail because the following codes read the file considering the backslash as an escape character:

        cat $findfiles | tr "\0" "\n" | ( rc=0; while read f; do
                diff -q "$f" "$dst/$f" || rc=18
        done

We need to add "-r" option to read:

-r     Backslash does not act as an escape character.  The backslash is considered to be part of the line.  In particular, a backslash-newline pair may not then be used as a line continuation.
