vis.py
======

Ctypes based module to access libbsd's strvis & strunvis functions.

The `vis` function is the equivalent of strvis.
The `unvis` function is the equivalent of strunvis.
All functions accept unicode string as input and return a unicode string.

Constants:
----------

* to select alternate encoding format
  `VIS_OCTAL`:      use octal \ddd format
  `VIS_CSTYLE`:     use \[nrft0..] where appropiate

* to alter set of characters encoded
  (default is to encode all non-graphic except space, tab, and newline).
  `VIS_SP`:         also encode space
  `VIS_TAB`:        also encode tab
  `VIS_NL`:         also encode newline
  `VIS_WHITE`:      same as (VIS_SP | VIS_TAB | VIS_NL)
  `VIS_SAFE`:       only encode "unsafe" characters

* other
  `VIS_NOSLASH`:    inhibit printing '\'
  `VIS_HTTP1808`:   http-style escape % hex hex
  `VIS_HTTPSTYLE`:  http-style escape % hex hex
  `VIS_MIMESTYLE`:  mime-style escape = HEX HEX
  `VIS_HTTP1866`:   http-style &#num; or &string;
  `VIS_NOESCAPE`:   don't decode `\'
  `VIS_GLOB`:       encode glob(3) magic characters
