|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn vis
|
||||
function copies into
|
||||
.Fa dst
|
||||
a string which represents the character
|
||||
.Fa c .
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Fa c
|
||||
needs no encoding, it is copied in unaltered.
|
||||
The string is NUL terminated and a pointer to the end of the string is
|
||||
returned.
|
||||
The maximum length of any encoding is four
|
||||
characters (not including the trailing NUL);
|
||||
thus, when
|
||||
encoding a set of characters into a buffer, the size of the buffer should
|
||||
be four times the number of characters encoded, plus one for the trailing
|
||||
NUL.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fa flag
|
||||
parameter is used for altering the default range of
|
||||
characters considered for encoding and for altering the visual
|
||||
representation.
|
||||
The additional character,
|
||||
.Fa nextc ,
|
||||
is only used when selecting the
|
||||
.Dv VIS_CSTYLE
|
||||
encoding format (explained below).
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn strvis ,
|
||||
.Fn strnvis
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Fn strvisx
|
||||
functions copy into
|
||||
.Fa dst
|
||||
a visual representation of
|
||||
the string
|
||||
.Fa src .
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn strvis
|
||||
function encodes characters from
|
||||
.Fa src
|
||||
up to the first NUL.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn strnvis
|
||||
function encodes characters from
|
||||
.Fa src
|
||||
up to the first NUL or the end of
|
||||
.Fa dst ,
|
||||
as indicated by
|
||||
.Fa size .
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fn strvisx
|
||||
function encodes exactly
|
||||
.Fa len
|
||||
characters from
|
||||
.Fa src
|
||||
(this
|
||||
is useful for encoding a block of data that may contain NULs).
|
||||
All three forms NUL terminate
|
||||
.Fa dst ,
|
||||
except for
|
||||
.Fn strnvis
|
||||
when
|
||||
.Fa size
|
||||
is zero, in which case
|
||||
.Fa dst
|
||||
is not touched.
|
||||
For
|
||||
.Fn strvis
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Fn strvisx ,
|
||||
the size of
|
||||
.Fa dst
|
||||
must be four times the number
|
||||
of characters encoded from
|
||||
.Fa src
|
||||
(plus one for the NUL).
|
||||
.Fn strvis
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Fn strvisx
|
||||
return the number of characters in
|
||||
.Fa dst
|
||||
(not including the trailing NUL).
|
||||
.Fn strnvis
|
||||
returns the length that
|
||||
.Fa dst
|
||||
would become if it were of unlimited size (similar to
|
||||
.Xr snprintf 3
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Xr strlcpy 3 ) .
|
||||
This can be used to detect truncation but it also means that
|
||||
the return value of
|
||||
.Fn strnvis
|
||||
must not be used without checking it against
|
||||
.Fa size .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The encoding is a unique, invertible representation composed entirely of
|
||||
graphic characters; it can be decoded back into the original form using
|
||||
the
|
||||
.Xr unvis 3bsd
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Xr strunvis 3bsd
|
||||
functions.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
There are two parameters that can be controlled: the range of
|
||||
characters that are encoded, and the type
|
||||
of representation used.
|
||||
By default, all non-graphic characters
|
||||
except space, tab, and newline are encoded
|
||||
(see
|
||||
.Xr isgraph 3 ) .
|
||||
The following flags
|
||||
alter this:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width VIS_WHITEX
|
||||
.It Dv VIS_GLOB
|
||||
Also encode magic characters recognized by
|
||||
.Xr glob 3
|
||||
.Pf ( Ql * ,
|
||||
.Ql \&? ,
|
||||
.Ql \&[ )
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Ql # .
|
||||
.It Dv VIS_SP
|
||||
Also encode space.
|
||||
.It Dv VIS_TAB
|
||||
Also encode tab.
|
||||
.It Dv VIS_NL
|
||||
Also encode newline.
|
||||
.It Dv VIS_WHITE
|
||||
Synonym for
|
||||
.Dv VIS_SP
|
||||
\&|
|
||||
.Dv VIS_TAB
|
||||
\&|
|
||||
.Dv VIS_NL .
|
||||
.It Dv VIS_SAFE
|
||||
Only encode
|
||||
.Dq unsafe
|
||||
characters.
|
||||
These are control characters which may cause common terminals to perform
|
||||
unexpected functions.
|
||||
Currently this form allows space,
|
||||
tab, newline, backspace, bell, and return -- in addition
|
||||
to all graphic characters -- unencoded.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
There are three forms of encoding.
|
||||
All forms use the backslash
|
||||
.Ql \e
|
||||
character to introduce a special
|
||||
sequence; two backslashes are used to represent a real backslash.
|
||||
These are the visual formats:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width VIS_CSTYLE
|
||||
.It (default)
|
||||
Use an
|
||||
.Ql M
|
||||
to represent meta characters (characters with the 8th
|
||||
bit set), and use a caret
|
||||
.Ql ^
|
||||
to represent control characters (see
|
||||
.Xr iscntrl 3 ) .
|
||||
The following formats are used:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width xxxxx
|
||||
.It Dv \e^C
|
||||
Represents the control character
|
||||
.Ql C .
|
||||
Spans characters
|
||||
.Ql \e000
|
||||
through
|
||||
.Ql \e037 ,
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Ql \e177
|
||||
(as
|
||||
.Ql \e^? ) .
|
||||
.It Dv \eM-C
|
||||
Represents character
|
||||
.Ql C
|
||||
with the 8th bit set.
|
||||
Spans characters
|
||||
.Ql \e241
|
||||
through
|
||||
.Ql \e376 .
|
||||
.It Dv \eM^C
|
||||
Represents control character
|
||||
.Ql C
|
||||
with the 8th bit set.
|
||||
Spans characters
|
||||
.Ql \e200
|
||||
through
|
||||
.Ql \e237 ,
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Ql \e377
|
||||
(as
|
||||
.Ql \eM^? ) .
|
||||
.It Dv \e040
|
||||
Represents
|
||||
.Tn ASCII
|
||||
space.
|
||||
.It Dv \e240
|
||||
Represents Meta-space.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.It Dv VIS_CSTYLE
|
||||
Use C-style backslash sequences to represent standard non-printable
|
||||
characters.
|
||||
The following sequences are used to represent the indicated characters:
|
||||
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
|
||||
.Li \ea Tn - BEL No (007)
|
||||
.Li \eb Tn - BS No (010)
|
||||
.Li \ef Tn - NP No (014)
|
||||
.Li \en Tn - NL No (012)
|
||||
.Li \er Tn - CR No (015)
|
||||
.Li \es Tn - SP No (040)
|
||||
.Li \et Tn - HT No (011)
|
||||
.Li \ev Tn - VT No (013)
|
||||
.Li \e0 Tn - NUL No (000)
|
||||
.Ed
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
When using this format, the
|
||||
.Fa nextc
|
||||
parameter is looked at to determine
|
||||
if a NUL character can be encoded as
|
||||
.Ql \e0
|
||||
instead of
|
||||
.Ql \e000 .
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Fa nextc
|
||||
is an octal digit, the latter representation is used to
|
||||
avoid ambiguity.
|
||||
.It Dv VIS_OCTAL
|
||||
Use a three digit octal sequence.
|
||||
The form is
|
||||
.Ql \eddd
|
||||
where
|
||||
.Ar d
|
||||
represents an octal digit.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
There is one additional flag,
|
||||
.Dv VIS_NOSLASH ,
|
||||
which inhibits the
|
||||
doubling of backslashes and the backslash before the default
|
||||
format (that is, control characters are represented by
|
||||
.Ql ^C
|
||||
and
|
||||
meta characters as
|
||||
.Ql M-C ) .
|
||||
With this flag set, the encoding is
|
||||
ambiguous and non-invertible.
