       NAME
             strccpy, strcadd, strecpy, streadd - 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 );
