Description:
Context:
"
The rules for escape sequences in option files differ slightly from the rules for escape sequences in string literals in SQL statements. In the latter context, if “x” is not a value escape sequence character, “\x” becomes “x” rather than “\x”.
"

In the latter sentence, it should read:
". . . if “x” is not a valid escape sequence character . . . "

How to repeat:
This incorrect word is present in documentation for all versions of "4.2.3.3. Using Option Files"

Suggested fix:
Replace:
" . . . not a value escape sequence character . . . "

With:
" . . . not a valid escape sequence character . . . "
