NAME
      strccpy: streadd, strcadd, strecpy - copy strings, compressing or
      expanding escape codes

SYNOPSIS
      cc [flag ...] file ...  -lgen [library ...]

      #include <libgen.h>

      char *strccpy (char *output, const char *input);

      char *strcadd (char *output, const char *input);

      char *strecpy (char *output, const char *input, const char
          *exceptions);

      char *streadd (char *output, const char *input, const char
          *exceptions);

DESCRIPTION
      strccpy copies the input string, up to a null byte, to the output string,
      compressing the C-language escape sequences (for example, \n, \001) to
      the equivalent character.  A null byte is appended to the output.  The
      output argument must point to a space big enough to accommodate the
      result.  If it is as big as the space pointed to by input it is
      guaranteed to be big enough.  strccpy returns the output argument.

      strcadd is identical to strccpy, except that it returns the pointer to
      the null byte that terminates the output.

      strecpy copies the input string, up to a null byte, to the output string,
      expanding non-graphic characters to their equivalent C-language escape
      sequences (for example, \n, \001).  The output argument must point to a
      space big enough to accommodate the result; four times the space pointed
      to by input is guaranteed to be big enough (each character could become \
      and 3 digits).  Characters in the exceptions string are not expanded.
      The exceptions argument may be zero, meaning all non-graphic characters
      are expanded.  strecpy returns the output argument

      streadd is identical to strecpy, except that it returns the pointer to
      the null byte that terminates the output.

EXAMPLES
      /* expand all but newline and tab */
      strecpy( output, input, "\n\t" );
      /* concatenate and compress several strings */
      cp = strcadd( output, input1 );
      cp = strcadd( cp, input2 );
      cp = strcadd( cp, input3 );
