But doesn't seem to put the exact value by converting the hexadecimal number to the ASCII code. For example, if a name of one of my file contains the ASCII character 130, when I type the ls -b command, the output show me : /202 , which is the number 516, not 130 (maybe it's not the exact number, but it's close to it, I do it by memory, it's only to show that it's not the correct number.) I can I do to know, from the hexadecimal number to which number it is reliated in the ASCII character?
