3 Output Format
Teseq produces output that is primarily intended to be read by humans
(from input that is usually not). For this reason, Teseq output
follows the following principles:
- Displays for different sorts of characters and sequences are displayed
on distinct lines, and are easily distinguished by
the initial character.
- Every input character should be unambiguously visible to the user in
the output (except, of course, when the user explicitly asks not to
see them, as with the -E option). In particular, trailing
space should be visible.
- Line lengths are limited to a maximum of 78 characters, so as to fit
comfortably on most terminal displays.
- The output makes clear distinction between line breaks that occur due
to line limits or intermixed character types, and those that actually
occurred in the input.
