Viz copies its input to its output, converting invisible characters
to a visible form.  If the -t option is used, the output is
formatted in a form that can be completely inverted by inviz,
which allows a binary file to be converted to a text form and then back.
It is much more flexible than either cat -v  or  od (either old or
POSIX od), and it is also 2\-4 times faster.

By default, the input is treated as a sequence of characters.
However, a file format may be specified, in which case
viz can handle files containing a mixture of data of arbitrary types.

The format can include repeat counts
and comments that are embedded in the output stream.

Uninteresting data can be skipped over and not printed on stdout.

Additional flexibility is provided through user-settable variables,
which can be used as repeat counts.  Simple math can be done on the
variables, and chars, shorts, or integers from the input stream
can be stored in them.
