Yes, that's the same for all special characters. Also Solaris and FreeBSD have the same behavior. However I'm not sure it should be documented, as the NUL character is being taken literally in this case, and it happens to match the _POSIX_VDISABLE character. This may change in future, so I would stick to the documented interfaces. thanks, Pádraig.
