Sorry for digging up such an old topic, scrypt format has been committed
to bleeding-jumbo several months ago.
Is there a particular reason why one of the scrypt tests has a
ciphertext and a password containing horizontal tab and line feed
characters?
For test purposes, I implemented --list=format-tests.
Currently, my trivial patch prints format label, number, ciphertext,
password, separated by horizontal tabs.
So far, there's not a single test with a password containing a ':', so I
could have used a colon as a delimiter.
But I decided to use a tab, because I thought that passwords containing
horizontal tabs would be less likely than passwords containing colons.
Since one of the scrypt tests contains line feed characters, using the
output of --list=format-tests is more difficult than it needs to be,
even if ':' would be used as a delimiter.
