Subject: [PATCH backup v4 2/4] docs: client: document further password constrains
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 10:02:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706080246.108256-3-m.sandoval@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706080246.108256-1-m.sandoval@proxmox.com>
Even though newlines are control characters, we keep them explicitly for ease of
understanding.
