|
|
.Nm

.Op Fl e Ar extra
|
|
.Op Fl F Ar foldwidth
|
|
.Op Ar file ...

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a filter for converting non-printable characters
|
|
into a visual representation.
|
|
It differs from
|
|
.Ql cat -v
|
|
in that
|
|
the form is unique and invertible.
|
|
By default, all non-graphic
|
|
characters except space, tab, and newline are encoded.
|
|
A detailed description of the
|
|
various visual formats is given in
|
|
.Xr vis 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Turns off prepending of backslash before up-arrow control sequences
|
|
and meta characters, and disables the doubling of backslashes.
|
|
This
|
|
produces output which is neither invertible or precise, but does
|
|
represent a minimum of change to the input.
|
|
It is similar to
|
|
.Dq Li cat -v .
|
|
.Pq Dv VIS_NOSLASH
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Request a format which displays a small subset of the
|
|
non-printable characters using C-style backslash sequences.
|
|
.Pq Dv VIS_CSTYLE
|
|
.It Fl e Ar extra
|
|
Also encode characters in
|
|
.Ar extra ,
|
|
per
|
|
.Xr svis 3 .
|
|
.It Fl F Ar foldwidth
|
|
Causes
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to fold output lines to foldwidth columns (default 80), like
|
|
.Xr fold 1 ,
|
|
except
|
|
that a hidden newline sequence is used, (which is removed
|
|
when inverting the file back to its original form with
|
|
.Xr unvis 1 ) .
|
|
If the last character in the encoded file does not end in a newline,
|
|
a hidden newline sequence is appended to the output.
|
|
This makes
|
|
the output usable with various editors and other utilities which
|
|
typically don't work with partial lines.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Same as
|
|
.Fl F .
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Encode using the URI encoding from RFC 1808.
|
|
.Pq Dv VIS_HTTPSTYLE
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Mark newlines with the visible sequence
|
|
.Ql \e$ ,
|
|
followed by the newline.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Encode using the MIME Quoted-Printable encoding from RFC 2045.
|
|
.Pq Dv VIS_MIMESTYLE
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Turns off any encoding, except for the fact that backslashes are
|
|
still doubled and hidden newline sequences inserted if
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
is selected.
|
|
When combined with the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
flag,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
becomes like
|
|
an invertible version of the
|
|
.Xr fold 1
|
|
utility.
|
|
That is, the output can be unfolded by running the output through
|
|
.Xr unvis 1 .
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Request a format which displays non-printable characters as
|
|
an octal number, \eddd.
|
|
.Pq Dv VIS_OCTAL
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Only characters considered unsafe to send to a terminal are encoded.
|
|
This flag allows backspace, bell, and carriage return in addition
|
|
to the default space, tab and newline.
|
|
.Pq Dv VIS_SAFE
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Tabs are also encoded.
|
|
.Pq Dv VIS_TAB
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
White space (space-tab-newline) is also encoded.
|
|
.Pq Dv VIS_WHITE
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh MULTIBYTE CHARACTER SUPPORT
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports multibyte character input.
|
|
The encoding conversion is influenced by the setting of the
|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
environment variable which defines the set of characters that can be
|
|
copied without encoding.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When 8-bit data is present in the input,
|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
must be set to the correct locale or to the C locale.
|
|
If the locales of the data and the conversion are mismatched, multibyte
|
|
character recognition may fail and encoding will be performed byte-by-byte
|
|
instead.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Ev LC_CTYPE"
|
|
.It Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
Specify the locale of the input data.
|
|
Set to C if the input data locale is unknown.
