<p><b>Description:</b></p>
10
<p>This directive instructs rsyslogd to replace control characters during reception of the message. The intent is to provide a way to stop non-printable messages from entering the syslog system as whole. If this option is turned on, all control-characters are converted to a 3-digit octal number and be prefixed with the $ControlCharacterEscapePrefix character (being '\' by default). For example, if the BEL character (ctrl-g) is included in the message, it would be converted to "\007". To be compatible to sysklogd, this option must be turned on.</p>
11
<p><b>Warning:</b></p>
13
<li>turning on this option most probably destroys non-western character sets
14
(like Japanese, Chinese and Korean)</li>
15
<li>turning on this option destroys digital signatures if such exists inside
