Instead, the specified action is -performed: -.Bl -tag -width indent -.It Li \eb -A backspace character is output. -.It Li \ec -Subsequent output is suppressed. This is normally used at the end of the -last argument to suppress the trailing newline that -.Nm -would otherwise output. -.It Li \ef -Output a form feed. -.It Li \en -Output a newline character. -.It Li \er -Output a carriage return. -.It Li \et -Output a (horizontal) tab character. -.It Li \ev -Output a vertical tab. -.It Li \e0 Ns Ar digits -Output the character whose value is given by zero to three digits. -If there are zero digits, a nul character is output. -.It Li \e\e -Output a backslash. -.El -.Sh HINTS -Remember that backslash is special to the shell and needs to be escaped. -To output a message to standard error, say -.Pp -.D1 echo message >&2 -.Sh BUGS -The octal character escape mechanism -.Pq Li \e0 Ns Ar digits -differs from the -C language mechanism. -.Pp -There is no way to force -.Nm -to treat its arguments literally, rather than interpreting them as -options and escape sequences. |
