On OS X and BSD (at least, and possibly others) the -B option forces octal-style \xxx output for non-printable characters, while -b uses C-style escapes where possible. You are correct regarding the GNU option -B, which would not be relevant here, and regarding the fact that neither of these options are in POSIX. Thanks for pointing out those limitations. |
