Set the escape character for text strings. From C (in contrast to fortran, see plsescfortran) you pass esc as a character. Only selected characters are allowed to prevent the user from shooting himself in the foot (For example, a "\" isn't allowed since it conflicts with C's use of backslash as a character escape). Here are the allowed escape characters and their corresponding decimal ASCII values:
"!", ASCII 33
"#", ASCII 35
"$", ASCII 36
"%", ASCII 37
"&", ASCII 38
"*", ASCII 42
"@", ASCII 64
"^", ASCII 94
"~", ASCII 126
