cases to be either lower- or uppercase.
By default, Wget escapes the characters that are not valid as part of
file names on your operating system, as well as control characters that
are typically unprintable. This option is useful for changing these
defaults, either because you are downloading to a non-native partition,
or because you want to disable escaping of the control characters.
By default, Wget escapes the characters that are not valid or safe as
part of file names on your operating system, as well as control
characters that are typically unprintable. This option is useful for
changing these defaults, perhaps because you are downloading to a
non-native partition, or because you want to disable escaping of the
control characters, or you want to further restrict characters to only
those in the @sc{ascii} range of values.
When mode is set to ``unix'', Wget escapes the character @samp{/} and
The @var{modes} are a comma-separated set of text values. The
acceptable values are @samp{unix}, @samp{windows}, @samp{nocontrol},
@samp{ascii}, @samp{lowercase}, and @samp{uppercase}. The values
@samp{unix} and @samp{windows} are mutually exclusive (one will
override the other), as are @samp{lowercase} and
@samp{uppercase}. Those last are special cases, as they do not change
the set of characters that would be escaped, but rather force local
file paths to be converted either to lower- or uppercase.
When ``unix'' is specified, Wget escapes the character @samp{/} and

mode. This mode is the default on Windows.
If you append @samp{,nocontrol} to the mode, as in
@samp{unix,nocontrol}, escaping of the control characters is also
switched off. You can use @samp{--restrict-file-names=nocontrol} to
turn off escaping of control characters without affecting the choice of
the OS to use as file name restriction mode.
If you specify @samp{nocontrol}, then the escaping of the control
characters is also switched off. This option may make sense
when you are downloading URLs whose names contain UTF-8 characters, on
a system which can save and display filenames in UTF-8 (some possible
byte values used in UTF-8 byte sequences fall in the range of values
designated by Wget as ``controls'').
The @samp{ascii} mode is used to specify that any bytes whose values
are outside the range of @sc{ascii} characters (that is, greater than
127) shall be escaped. This can be useful when saving filenames
whose encoding does not match the one used locally.
