+thus, when +encoding a set of characters into a buffer, the size of the buffer should +be four times the number of bytes encoded, plus one for the trailing +.Dv NUL . +The 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 stravis , +.Fn strnvis , +.Fn strvisx , +and +.Fn strnvisx +functions copy into +.Fa dst +a visual representation of +the string +.Fa src . +The +.Fn strvis +and +.Fn strnvis +functions encode characters from +.Fa src +up to the +first +.Dv NUL . +The +.Fn strvisx +and +.Fn strnvisx +functions encode exactly +.Fa len +characters from +.Fa src +(this +is useful for encoding a block of data that may contain +.Dv NUL Ns 's ) . +Both forms +.Dv NUL +terminate +.Fa dst . +The size of +.Fa dst +must be four times the number +of bytes encoded from +.Fa src +(plus one for the +.Dv NUL ) . +Both +forms return the number of characters in +.Fa dst +(not including the trailing +.Dv NUL ) . +The +.Fn stravis +function allocates space dynamically to hold the string. +The +.Dq Nm n +versions of the functions also take an additional argument +.Fa dlen +that indicates the length of the +.Fa dst +buffer. +If +.Fa dlen +is not large enough to fit the converted string then the +.Fn strnvis +and +.Fn strnvisx +functions return \-1 and set +.Va errno +to +.Er ENOSPC . +The +.Fn strenvisx +function takes an additional argument, +.Fa cerr_ptr , +that is used to pass in and out a multibyte conversion error flag. +This is useful when processing single characters at a time when +it is possible that the locale may be set to something other +than the locale of the characters in the input data. +.Pp +The functions +.Fn svis , +.Fn snvis , +.Fn strsvis , +.Fn strsnvis , +.Fn strsvisx , +.Fn strsnvisx , +and +.Fn strsenvisx +correspond to +.Fn vis , +.Fn nvis , +.Fn strvis , +.Fn strnvis , +.Fn strvisx , +.Fn strnvisx , +and +.Fn strenvisx +but have an additional argument +.Fa extra , +pointing to a +.Dv NUL +terminated list of characters. +These characters will be copied encoded or backslash-escaped into +.Fa dst . +These functions are useful e.g. to remove the special meaning +of certain characters to shells. +.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 3 , +.Xr strunvis 3 +or +.Xr strnunvis 3 +functions. +.Pp +There are two parameters that can be controlled: the range of +characters that are encoded (applies only to +.Fn vis , +.Fn nvis , +.Fn strvis , +.Fn strnvis , +.Fn strvisx , +and +.Fn strnvisx ) , +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_DQ +Also encode double quotes +.It Dv VIS_GLOB +Also encode the magic characters +.Ql ( * , +.Ql \&? , +.Ql \&[ , +and +.Ql # ) +recognized by +.Xr glob 3 . +.It Dv VIS_SHELL +Also encode the meta characters used by shells (in addition to the glob +characters): +.Ql ( ' , +.Ql ` , +.Ql \&" , +.Ql \&;
