clean up filenames (stream-based)

The inline-detox
utility can remove spaces
and other such annoyances from streams. It'll also translate or cleanup
Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) characters encoded in 8-bit ASCII, Unicode characters
encoded in UTF-8, and CGI escaped characters. Basically it's detox, but does
not operate on files.
inline-detox
is driven by a configurable
series of filters, called a sequence. Sequences are covered in more detail
in detoxrc(5) and are discoverable with the
-L
option. Some examples of default sequences are
iso8859_1
and utf_8
.
The main options:
-f
configfile-h
--help
-L
-v
this option shows what filters are used in each
sequence and any properties applied to the filters.-r
-s

-V

.Deprecated Options are options that were available in earlier
versions of inline-detox
but have lost their meaning
and are being phased out.
--remove-trailing
inline-detox
. After the introduction of
sequences, it lost its meaning, as you could now determine the properties
of wipeup through a particular sequence's configuration. It presently
forces all instances of the wipeup filter to use remove trailing,
regardless of what's actually in the config files.-f

detox was originally designed to clean up files that I had
received from friends which had been created using other operating systems.
It's trivial to create a filename with spaces, parenthesis, brackets, and
ampersands under some operating systems. These have special meaning within
FreeBSD and Linux, and cause problems when you go to access them. I created
inline-detox
to clean up these files.
inline-detox
was written by
Doug Harple.
Long options don't work under Solaris or Darwin.
An error in the config file will cause a segfault as it's going to print the offending word within the config file.
