Grimesutility was documented to define a word as a ``maximal string of 969b50d902SRodney W. Grimescharacters delimited by <space>, <tab> or <newline> characters''. 979b50d902SRodney W. GrimesThe implementation, however, didn't handle non-printing characters 989b50d902SRodney W. Grimescorrectly so that `` ^D^E '' counted as 6 spaces, while ``foo^D^Ebar'' 999b50d902SRodney W. Grimescounted as 8 characters. 1009b50d902SRodney W. Grimes4BSD systems after 4.3BSD modified the implementation to be consistent 1019b50d902SRodney W. Grimeswith the documentation. 1029b50d902SRodney W. GrimesThis implementation defines a ``word'' in terms of the 1039b50d902SRodney W. Grimes.Xr isspace 3 1049b50d902SRodney W.
