    In addition to the escape sequences shown in the Base Definitions
    volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 5, File Format Notation (
    '\\' , '\a' , '\b' , '\f' , '\n' , '\r' , '\t' , '\v' ), "\ddd" ,
    where ddd is a one, two, or three-digit octal number, shall be
    written as a byte with the numeric value specified by the octal
    number.

Thanks.
