ASCII usage message:
usage: ASCII <argument> [...]
where <argument> can have the form: | cc hexadecimal digits 00 .. FE
c a printable ASCII character | cc ASCII code symbol (e.g. CR)
\c C escape sequence (e.g. \r) | ccc ASCII code symbol like ACK
^c ^@ .. ^_ or ^? control code | .. indicates argument subrange
??c ANSI C trigraphs (e.g. ??/) | ... indicates argument subrange
\ccc octal sequence (e.g. \015) | ALL list 33 ASCII control codes
\xcc C hex. sequence (e.g. \x0D) | IBM difference codepage 437/850
ccc 3 decimal digits 000 .. 255 | ISO list 20 ISO C sequences
256 256 untranslated characters | LOW 128 char.s: strict US ASCII
For codes above 127 DEL the current codepage is used. Caveat: \e is no C.
Except from lists like ALL or 256 the result shows all translations as in:
ASCII BEL = \x07 = 7 = \007 = ^G = C \a
ASCII BS = \x08 = 8 = \010 = ^H = C \b
ASCII HT = \x09 = 9 = \011 = ^I = C \t = aka TAB
