nfsd: escape high characters in binary data
I'm exposing some information about NFS clients in pseudofiles. I
expect to eventually have simple tools to help read those pseudofiles.
But it's also helpful if the raw files are human-readable to the extent
possible. It aids debugging and makes them usable on systems that don't
have the latest nfs-utils.
A minor challenge there is opaque client-generated protocol objects like
state owners and client identifiers. Some clients generate those to
include handy information in plain ascii. But they may also include
arbitrary byte sequences.
I think the simplest approach is to limit to isprint(c) && isascii(c)
and escape everything else.
That means you can just cat the file and get something that looks OK.
Also, I'm trying to keep these files legal YAML, which requires them to
UTF-8, and this is a simple way to guarantee that.
