Quoting Branden:
*roff escape sequences may sometimes look like C escapes, but that
is misleading. *roff is in part a macro language and that means
recursive expansion to arbitrary depths.
You can get away with "\\" in a context where no macro expansion
is taking place, but try to spell a literal backslash this way in
the argument to a macro and you will likely be unhappy with
results.
Try viewing the attached file with "man -l".
"\e" is the preferred and portable way to get a portable "escape
literal" going back to CSTR #54, the original Bell Labs troff
paper.
groff(7) discusses the issue:
\\ reduces to a single backslash; useful to delay its
interpretation as escape character in copy mode. For a
printable backslash, use \e, or even better \[rs], to be
independent from the current escape character.
As of groff 1.22.4, groff_man(7) does as well:
\e Widely used in man pages to represent a backslash output
glyph. It works reliably as long as the .ec request is
not used, which should never happen in man pages, and it
is slightly more portable than the more exact ‘\(rs’
(“reverse solidus”) escape sequence.
People not concerned with portability to extremely old troffs should
probably just use \(rs (or \[rs]), as it means "the backslash
glyph", not "the glyph corresponding to whatever the current escape
character is".

.SS Seeking file data and holes

Since version 3.1, Linux supports the following additional values for
|
|
|
|
|
.IR whence :
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B SEEK_DATA
|
|
|
|
|
Adjust the file offset to the next location
|
|
|
|
|
in the file greater than or equal to
|
|
|
|
|
.I offset
|
|
|
|
|
containing data.
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
|
.I offset
|
|
|
|
|
points to data,
|
|
|
|
|
then the file offset is set to
|
|
|
|
|
.IR offset .
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B SEEK_HOLE
|
|
|
|
|
Adjust the file offset to the next hole in the file
|
|
|
|
|
greater than or equal to
|
|
|
|
|
.IR offset .
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
|
.I offset
|
|
|
|
|
points into the middle of a hole,
|
|
|
|
|
then the file offset is set to
|
|
|
|
|
.IR offset .
|
|
|
|
|
If there is no hole past
|
|
|
|
|
.IR offset ,
|
|
|
|
|
then the file offset is adjusted to the end of the file
|
|
|
|
|
(i.e., there is an implicit hole at the end of any file).

These operations allow applications to map holes in a sparsely

allocated file.
|
|
|
|
|
This can be useful for applications such as file backup tools,
|
|
|
|
|
which can save space when creating backups and preserve holes,
|
|
|
|
|
if they have a mechanism for discovering holes.
