The following character sequences are treated specially by the kprint Command unless given the -r option:
| \a | alert (bell, ASCII 007) |
| \b | backspace |
| \c | suppresses terminating newline, like `-n' option |
| \f | form feed |
| \n | newline |
| \r | carriage return |
| \t | tab |
| \v | vertical tab |
| \\ | backslash |
| \nnn | (1 to 3 octal digits) the 8-bit character whose ASCII code is nnn |
Backslash is also a quoting character. To echo a form feed, you can use one of the following:
(dbx) kprint -n \\f
(dbx) kprint -n '\f'
(dbx) kprint -n "\f"
