+Unusual characters are always escaped. White space, backslash, and

+using an octal escape. Printable characters (for @samp{-ls} and

+printed as-is.
There are two problems in the last sentence. First, 0177 is not a
printable character; this is the DEL character and is displayed as
\177 by "find . -ls". Moreover you should probably add "after the
possible backslash" or say "*Other* printable characters".
Ditto concerning the man page.
