[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] --qyeryformat doesn't support '\0' (Issue #1876)

[Florian Festi]

While you can't use a zero byte as a separator you actually can use any other non printable character

> rpm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}"\`echo -e "\x01"\`"%{VERSION}" rpm | xxd
> 00000000: 7270 6d01 342e 3137 2e30                 rpm.4.17.0

Given that most tags are pretty limited in what they can contain this should work for most use cases.
