<h2>$ControlCharacterEscapePrefix</h2>
Type: global configuration directive
Default: \
Description:
This option specifies the prefix character to be used for control character escaping (see option $EscapeControlCharactersOnReceive). By default, it is '\', which is backwards-compatible with sysklogd. Change it to '#' in order to be compliant to the value that is somewhat suggested by Internet-Draft syslog-protocol.
IMPORTANT: do not use the ' character. This is reserved and will most probably be used in the future as a character delimiter. For the same reason, the syntax of this directive will probably change in future releases.
Sample:
<code>$EscapeControlCharactersOnReceive #&nbsp; # as of syslog-protocol</code>
