Getting ^M instead of newline when gpg reads from keyboard












0














I tried to read a gpg message from the keyboard, but



% gpg -ca
test^M^M^M^C
gpg: signal Interrupt caught ... exiting

%


I got ^M instead of a newline. Why?

  • the assumption is that you hit the ENTER or RETURN key for each of those ^M's?
