Hello!
Intersting, thanks for your reply. For "-c" the man page reads
"printable character or backslash escape"
I don't really see any mention of octal fallback in there :)
Personally, I would expect (and prefer) \x?? output for any
non-printable bytes from that description. My vote too add that or at
least making the man page more precise about "-c", that would be cool.
I guess "od -t u1" is what I'll use in the meantime.
Best,
Sebastian
