CVS commit: basesrc

[Lex Wennmacher <wennmach%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    basesrc
Committed By:   wennmach
Date:           Thu Nov 25 16:50:08 UTC 1999

Modified Files:
        basesrc/lib/libc/gen: vis.c

Log Message:
Added new functions

     char *
     svis(char *dst, int c, int flag, int nextc, const char *extra);

     int
     strsvis(char *dst, const char *src, int flag, const char *extra);

     int
     strsvisx(char *dst, const char *src, size_t len, int flag,
             const char *extra);

These functions correspond to vis(), strvis(), and strvisx() but have an
additional argument extra, pointing to a NUL terminated list of characters.
These characters will be copied encoded or backslash-escaped into dst. These
functions are useful e. g.  to remove the special meaning of certain
characters to shells.

To implement the new functions, vis underwent a major rewrite. Most functions
now use a central macro, SVIS. Performance increase ~ factor 2.
