+.Sh NAME
+.Nm vis
+.Nd display non-printable characters in a visual format
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm vis
+.Op Fl cbflnostw
+.Op Fl F Ar foldwidth
+.Op Ar file ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Vis
+is a filter for converting non-printable characters
+into a visual representation.  It differs from
+.Ql cat -v
+in that
+the form is unique and invertible.  By default, all non-graphic
+characters except space, tab, and newline are encoded.
+A detailed description of the
+various visual formats is given in
+.Xr vis 3 .
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl b
+Turns off prepending of backslash before up-arrow control sequences
+and meta characters, and disables the doubling of backslashes.  This
+produces output which is neither invertible or precise, but does
+represent a minimum of change to the input.  It is similar to
+.Dq Li cat -v .
+.It Fl c
+Request a format which displays a small subset of the
+non-printable characters using C-style backslash sequences.
+.It Fl F
+Causes
+.Nm vis
+to fold output lines to foldwidth columns (default 80), like
+.Xr fold 1 ,
+except
+that a hidden newline sequence is used, (which is removed
+when inverting the file back to its original form with
+.Xr unvis 1 ) .
+If the last character in the encoded file does not end in a newline,
+a hidden newline sequence is appended to the output.
+This makes
+the output usable with various editors and other utilities which
+typically don't work with partial lines.
+.It Fl f
+Same as
+.Fl F .
+.It Fl l
+Mark newlines with the visible sequence
+.Ql \e$ ,
+followed by the newline.
+.It Fl n
+Turns off any encoding, except for the fact that backslashes are
+still doubled and hidden newline sequences inserted if
+.Fl f
+or
+.Fl F
+is selected.  When combined with the
+.Fl f
+flag,
+.Nm vis
+becomes like
+an invertible version of the
+.Xr fold 1
+utility.  That is, the output
+can be unfolded by running the output through
+.It Fl o
+Request a format which displays non-printable characters as
+an octal number, \eddd.
+.It Fl s
+Only characters considered unsafe to send to a terminal are encoded.
+This flag allows backspace, bell, and carriage return in addition
+to the default space, tab and newline.
+.Xr unvis 1 .
+.It Fl t
+Tabs are also encoded.
+.It Fl w
+White space (space-tab-newline) is also encoded.
