No caps or anything. Also, this manpage was up for review on -doc > for a week, it would have been nice if you had made suggestions then. fgrep -B 2 -A 1 -w NUL /usr/src/usr.bin/find/find.1 It prints the pathname of the current file to standard output, followed by an .Tn ASCII .Tn NUL character (character code 0). There are other examples all over the source tree: bin/dd, usr.bin/lex, usr.bin/telnet, usr.bin/tr, usr.bin/what, usr.bin/xargs, libexec/rexecd, libexec/rshd, contrib/bc, contrib/libio/dbz, contrib/ncurses, gnu/usr.bin/grep, and I may have missed some ;) And it's not just FreeBSD - in every ASCII table I've seen, the special characters' names are in all caps.
