[cs631apue] ls -q and w

[Jeevanandha Ramanathan]

I am trying to create a file with special characters, using

touch 'foo\n'  'foo\t'  'foo?'

but listing the files using ls command, displays

foo\n foo\t foo?.

I expect it to be

foo? foo? foo?

Am I missing something here?



Thank you.

Kind regards,
Jeeva
