> That works, but it needs the escaped semicolon, which is a shell
> special-char (one of the bash control operators), so it is brittle
> when passed in/down/around scripts. In particular, it fails when
> passed to vng (virtme-ng).

> So this patch adds '%' to the existing ';' and '\n' multi-command

> NOTE: it does break format matching on '%' patterns:

> bash-5.2# ddcmd 'format "find-me: %foo" +p'
> [ 203.900581] dyndbg: read 26 bytes from userspace
> [ 203.900883] dyndbg: query 0: "format "find-me: " mod:*
> [ 203.901118] dyndbg: unclosed quote: find-me:
> [ 203.901355] dyndbg: tokenize failed
> [ 203.901529] dyndbg: query 1: "foo" +p" mod:*
> [ 203.901957] dyndbg: split into words: "foo"" "+p"
> [ 203.902243] dyndbg: op='+' flags=0x1 maskp=0xffffffff
> [ 203.902458] dyndbg: expecting pairs of match-spec <value>
> [ 203.902703] dyndbg: query parse failed
> [ 203.902871] dyndbg: processed 2 queries, with 0 matches, 2 errs
> bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
>
> The '%' splits the input into 2 queries, and both fail. Given the
> limited utility of matching against the working parts of a format
> string "foo: %d bar %s", nothing is actually lost here.
