[lm-sensors] sensors.conf syntax: anyone use escape sequences?

[Mark M. Hoffman]

Hi everyone:

This is a question about sensors.conf syntax:

For a quoted string, libsensors currently accepts C language escape sequences
like '\n' for newline, etc.  It also accepts octal escapes, like '\015', but
for some reason it doesn't accept hex escapes, like '\x20'.

Question: is anyone actually using these escapes?

I wouldn't mind getting rid of them.

Regards,
