String transliterations
Certain fields, such as the description fields and metadata value fields, may contain characters with special meaning in this file format. In order to safely represent these characters, the following transliteration scheme is used:
Character | Transliteration |
newline | \n |
carriage return | \r |
tab | \t |
| | \! |
\ | \\ |
non-printable character | \xAA where AA is a two-digit hexadecimal number representing the byte value of the character. |
