NAME

unvis

 
strunvis

 - decode a visual representation of characters

 

LIBRARY

Lb libc

 

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The 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).

The strunvisx ();
function does the same as the strunvis ();
function, but it allows you to add a flag that specifies the style the string Fa src is encoded with. Currently, the only supported flag is VIS_HTTPSTYLE

The 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 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 unvis ();
with each successive byte, along with a pointer to this integer, and a pointer to a destination character. The unvis ();
function has several return codes that must be handled properly. They are:

0 (zero)

Another character is necessary; nothing has been recognized yet.

UNVIS_VALID

A valid character has been recognized and is available at the location pointed to by cp.

UNVIS_VALIDPUSH

A valid character has been recognized and is available at the location pointed to by cp; however, the character currently passed in should be passed in again.

UNVIS_NOCHAR

A valid sequence was detected, but no character was produced. This return code is necessary to indicate a logical break between characters.

UNVIS_SYNBAD

An invalid escape sequence was detected, or the decoder is in an unknown state. The decoder is placed into the starting state.

When all bytes in the stream have been processed, call unvis ();
one more time with Fa flag set to UNVIS_END to extract any remaining character (the character passed in is ignored).

The Fa flag argument is also used to specify the encoding style of the source. If set to VIS_HTTPSTYLE unvis ();
will decode URI strings as specified in RFC 1808.

The following code fragment illustrates a proper use of unvis (.);

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!\n");
        exit(1);
        }
}
if (unvis(&out, (char)0, &state, UNVIS_END) == UNVIS_VALID)
        (void) putchar(out);
