+
+ kamctl: make jsonrpc filter portable
+
+ The filter has a regex looking for a literal '{' in the beginning of a
+ line. Some awk implementations interpret this as a meta character, so
+ the regex is deemed broken. Example with busybox awk (POSIX):
+
+ root@hank2:~# kamctl ps
+ awk: bad regex '^{.+"id"[ ]*:[ ]*[0-9]+[ ]*}$': Invalid contents of {}
+ root@hank2:~#
+
+ To fix this enclose the character in square brackets. This always
+ matches for a literal '{' and is portable.
