C printf无符号字符数组

Question

I have an unsigned char array unsigned char* name = malloc(nameLength); - how can I print it with printf? %s does not seem to work correctly, neither does %u (seeing random icons).

Here's how I create the data I want to print:

__int32 nameLength;
ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, (LPCVOID)(classNamePtr + 0x0004), &nameLength, sizeof(__int32), 0); //Reads nameLength to be 13 in this case
unsigned char* name = malloc(nameLength+5); //Add 5 for good measure, it is null terminated
ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, (LPCVOID)(nameStrPtr), name, nameLength, 0);
name[nameLength] = 0; //null terminate

printf("%s", name); //Outputs single character strange characters, like an up icon

When one detects a non-printable char, output an escape sequence or hexadecimal value

#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int printf_ByteArray(const unsigned char *data, size_t len) {
  size_t i;
  int result = 0;
  for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    int y;
    int ch = data[i];
    static const char escapec[] = "\a\b\t\n\v\f\n\'\"\?\\";
    char *p = strchr(escapec, ch);
    if (p && ch) {
      static const char escapev[] = "abtnvfn\'\"\?\\";
      y = printf("\\%c", escapev[p - escapec]);
    } else if (isprint(ch)) {
      y = printf("%c", ch);
    } else {
      // If at end of array, assume _next_ potential character is a '0'.
      int nch = i >= (len - 1) ? '0' : data[i + 1];
      if (ch < 8 && (nch < '0' || nch > '7')) {
        y = printf("\\%o", ch);
      } else if (!isxdigit(nch)) {
        y = printf("\\x%X", ch);
      } else {
        y = printf("\\o%03o", ch);
      }
    }
    if (y == EOF)
      return EOF;
    result += y;
  }
  return result;
}

If data contained one of each byte, sample follows:

\\0...\\6\\a\\b\\t\\n\\v\\f\\xD\\xE\\xF\\x10...\\x1F !\\"#$%&\\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>\\?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~\\x7F...\\xFE\\o377

The selection of escape sequences will vary with code goals. The set above attempts to conform to something a C parser would accept.
Note: With the last else , always outputting a 3-digit octal sequence has scanning advantages, but folks are more accustomed to hexadecimal than octal.
Adjusted to conditionally print in hex depending on the following character.
