+.Sh NAME
+.Nm unvis ,
+.Nm strunvis ,
+.Nm strnunvis
+.Nd decode a visual representation of characters
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In vis.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn unvis "char *cp" "char c" "int *astate" "int flag"
+.Ft int
+.Fn strunvis "char *dst" "const char *src"
+.Ft ssize_t
+.Fn strnunvis "char *dst" "const char *src" "size_t size"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn unvis ,
+.Fn strunvis
+and
+.Fn strnunvis
+functions are used to decode a visual representation of characters,
+as produced by the
+.Xr vis 3
+function, back into the original form.
+.Fn unvis
+is called with successive characters in
+.Fa c
+until a valid
+sequence is recognized, at which time the decoded character is
+available at the character pointed to by
+.Fa cp .
+.Pp
+.Fn strunvis
+decodes the characters pointed to by
+.Fa src
+into the buffer pointed to by
+.Fa dst .
+.Pp
+.Fn strnunvis
+decodes the characters pointed to by
+.Fa src
+into the buffer pointed to by
+.Fa dst ,
+writing a maximum of
+.Fa size
+bytes.
+The
+.Fn strunvis
+function simply copies
+.Fa src
+to
+.Fa dst ,
+decoding any escape sequences along the way,
+and returns the number of characters placed into
+.Fa dst ,
+or \-1 if an
+invalid escape sequence was detected.
+The size of
+.Fa dst
+should be
+equal to the size of
+.Fa src
+(that is, no expansion takes place during decoding).
+.Fn strunvis
+terminates the destination string with a trailing NUL byte;
+.Fn strnunvis
+does so if
+.Fa size
+is larger than 0.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn unvis
+function implements a state machine that can be used to decode an arbitrary
+stream of bytes.
+All state associated with the bytes being decoded is stored outside the
+.Fn unvis
+function (that is, a pointer to the state is passed in), so
+calls decoding different streams can be freely intermixed.
+To start decoding a stream of bytes, first initialize an integer
+to zero.
+Call
+.Fn unvis
+with each successive byte, along with a pointer
+to this integer, and a pointer to a destination character.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn unvis
+function has several return codes that must be handled properly.
+They are:
+.Bl -tag -width UNVIS_VALIDPUSH
+.It Li \&0 (zero)
+Another character is necessary; nothing has been recognized yet.
+.It Dv UNVIS_VALID
+A valid character has been recognized and is available at the location
+pointed to by
+.Fa cp .
+.It Dv UNVIS_VALIDPUSH
+A valid character has been recognized and is available at the location
+pointed to by
+.Fa cp ;
+however, the character currently passed in should be passed in again.
+.It Dv UNVIS_NOCHAR
+A valid sequence was detected, but no character was produced.
+This return code is necessary to indicate a logical break between characters.
+.It Dv UNVIS_SYNBAD
+An invalid escape sequence was detected, or the decoder is in an
+unknown state.
+The decoder is placed into the starting state.
+.El
+.Pp
+When all bytes in the stream have been processed, call
+.Fn unvis
+one more time with
+.Fa flag
+set to
+.Dv UNVIS_END
+to extract any remaining character (the character passed in is ignored).
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn strunvis
+function returns the number of bytes written (not counting
+the trailing NUL byte) or \-1 if an error occurred.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn strnunvis
+function returns the number of bytes (not counting the trailing NUL byte)
+that would be needed to fully convert the input string, or \-1 if an
+error occurred.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following code fragment illustrates a proper use of
+.Fn unvis .
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+int state = 0;
+char out;
+
+while ((ch = getchar()) != EOF) {
+again:
+ switch(unvis(&out, ch, &state, 0)) {
+ case 0:
+ case UNVIS_NOCHAR:
+ break;
+ case UNVIS_VALID:
+ (void) putchar(out);
+ break;
+ case UNVIS_VALIDPUSH:
+ (void) putchar(out);
+ goto again;
+ case UNVIS_SYNBAD:
+ (void)fprintf(stderr, "bad sequence!\en");
+ exit(1);
+ }
+}
+if (unvis(&out, (char)0, &state, UNVIS_END) == UNVIS_VALID)
+ (void) putchar(out);
