+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.
