Subject: [PATCH v2] exec: make printable macro more concise
Date: Sat, 16 Nov 2024 06:12:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241116061258.GA216473@lichtman.org> (raw)
Problem: The printable macro in exec.c uses custom logic
to determine if a character is printable, even though
the kernel supplies existing facilities.
Solution: Refactor to use isprint and isspace.
Signed-off-by: Nir Lichtman <nir@lichtman.org>

v2: fix to also consider space characters as printables
Side-note: I called the previous version "refactor an invalid
executable check to use isprint"
