Length Limitations on String Values

String values for certain command options have specific limitations on the maximum total string value including special characters, and the maximum parsed value (that is, the character-string length when any escape sequences in the string are processed). The option descriptions note these maximum lengths.

Octal values are limited to a byte (/377). For example, /377 is translated as octal 377 (equal to \xff), but /378 is translated as octal 37 (\x1f) then an 8 character.
