I a reading Kerninghan and Ritchie's C programming language book and on page 37 it mentions byte sized bit patterns like :
'\013' for vertical tab .
'\007' for bell character .
My doubts :
- What is byte sized in it and and what's a bit pattern ?
- What relevance does this hold and where can I apply it ?
- Is it in any sense related to escape sequences ?
I can't seem to find any information what so ever about these byte sized bit patterns on the web . please help . thanks .
