<h2>$ControlCharacterEscapePrefix</h2>
<p><b>Type:</b> global configuration directive</p>
<p><b>Default:</b> \</p>
<p><b>Description:</b></p>
<p>This option specifies the prefix character to be used for control character escaping (see option $EscapeControlCharactersOnReceive). By default, it is '\', which is backwards-compatible with sysklogd. Change it to '#' in order to be compliant to the value that is somewhat suggested by Internet-Draft syslog-protocol.</p>
<p><b>IMPORTANT</b>: do not use the ' character. This is reserved and will most probably be used in the future as a character delimiter. For the same reason, the syntax of this directive will probably change in future releases.</p>
<p><b>Sample:</b></p>
<p><code><b>$EscapeControlCharactersOnReceive # # as of syslog-protocol</b></code></p>
