This sentence can be misread to mean that "\x20" is the escape code for
"-" which is the only character explicitly mentioned. This lead to at
least one user loosing hair over why a mount unit for "/foo/bar-baz"
didn't work. The example escape is arbitrary so lets prevent hair loss.

result is usable as part of a filename. Basically,
given a path, "/" is replaced by "-", and all
unprintable characters and the "-" are replaced by
- C-style "\x20" escapes. The root directory "/" is
+ C-style "\x2d" escapes. The root directory "/" is
encoded as single dash, while otherwise the initial
and ending "/" is removed from all paths during
transformation. This escaping is reversible.</para>
