--- Comment #10 from Wayne Davison <way...@samba.org> ---
The consistent and documented escaping is that some characters get ouput with a
backslash+hash+3-digit octal number. This includes control chars, some
backslashes, and (without -B) high-bit chars. From the man page:
"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)."
One easy way to unescape is thus to filter names through something like this:
perl -pe 's/\\#(\d\d\d)/chr(oct($1))/eg'
(...after any necessary parsing of the output to find the names or twiddle
newlines into nulls). You'll note that this only matches exactly 3-digits, as
rsync will leave something like "\#5" alone in the output, since it cannot be
confused with an actual escaped char.
