Apologies for the utter triviality of this question, but we all have to start somewhere! I've also tried searching but this question is pretty vague so I didn't (a) really know what to search for or (b) get many relevant hits to what I did search for. Anyway, I'm in the process of self-teaching...

bash variable (set via awk+sed) not working as expected

Hi! Been working on a script and I've been having a problem. I've finally narrowed it down to this variable I'm setting: servername=$(awk -v FS=\/ '{ print $7 } blah.txt | sed 's\/./-/g' | awk -v FS=\- '{print $1}')" This will essentially pare down a line like this: ...

In bash script, how to assign output of a command to a variable while keeping tabs?

Hi, wondering if it's been asked before but didn't find matches from google. Basically I have this line: myvar=$(echo -e "a\tb") Now somehow the '\t' from the echo output gets replaced with white space and then stored in $myvar. It creates a problem for me later to use tab as delimiter to do...

dh_dwz

DH_DWZ(1)							     Debhelper								 DH_DWZ(1)

NAME

       dh_dwz - optimize DWARF debug information in ELF binaries via dwz

SYNOPSIS

       dh_dwz [debhelperoptions] [-Xitem] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       Caveat: This tool is experimental and may disappear or change behaviour without any notice.

       dh_dwz is a debhelper program that will optimize the (uncompressed) size of the DWARF debug information in ELF binaries.  It does so by
       running dwz(1) on all the ELF binaries in the package.

OPTIONS

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up a
	   list of things to exclude.

       -- params
	   Pass params to dwz(1) when it processes ELF binaries.  This is mostly useful for setting memory related parameters (e.g. -l and -L).

NOTES

       If the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable contains nostrip, nothing will be stripped, in accordance with Debian policy (section 10.1
       "Binaries").

       While this tool technically does not remove debug information from binaries, it is still skipped when the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment
       variable contains nostrip.  This is because nostrip is often used to optimize build times (e.g. for "build and test"-cycles) rather than
       optimizing for size.

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
