Not sure if that's what you are asking for but you can do e.g.

$PGSQLD/bin/psql -d <your-dbase-name> -f ./query2.txt > ./query2.res

./query2.txt has something like
select * from bytea_tab ;

then you'll find all non-printables in ./query2.res
properly escaped as octets as shown in Data Types - Binary Strings.

HTH
