Hi!
In the rsync man page under " -8, --8-bit-output", it says:
. . .
All control characters (but never tabs) are always escaped, regardless
of this option's setting.
The escape idiom that started in 2.6.7 is to output a literal backslash
(\) and a hash (#),
followed by exactly 3 octal digits. For example, a newline would
output as "\#012".
A literal backslash that is in a filename is not escaped unless it is
followed by a hash and 3 digits (0-9).
Is there a list somewhere where I can find:
a) Which control characters will be escaped?
b) What digits the escaped control characters will get?
I was thinking b) would be the similar to the appropriate ascii code,
but since LF has ascii code 10 and CR har ascii code 13,
I was having problems finding the right code e.g. "\#012" for newline.
Thanks for your help! :-)
