As a minor point, both uses like this:
'4' <= *p && *p <= '7'
can be replaced with something like this:
'4' <= *p
and similarly, this:
'0' <= c && c <= '3'
can be replaced with this:
c < '4'
The replacements are not only shorter, but easier
to understand, because otherwise the reader is lef

First, let's look at POSIX, which has slightly different wording in its

Hi,
as reported in RHBZ#660033
( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660033 ), echo, printf and
stat allows 3 octal digits without limitation to 8-bit.
Documentation(manpages, info) refers to "byte with octal value" or
"8-bit octal value". Therefore 9-bit octal values should not be allowed.
Distributions that use su from coreutils need PAM support. This
patch is a merged version of the patches that are in at least SUSE
and RedHat distributions since years. I don't know if anyone ever
tried to submit the patch upstream though. So here it is :-)

Thanks for the report, but that's a feature, since backslash
is used to denote e.g., newline (\n), backspace (\b), etc. in
a quoted name:
$ ./stat -c %N 'a^Hb'
`a\bb'
