print_bytes 2.0.1

Print bytes as losslessly as possible
Documentation

print_bytes

This crate allows printing broken UTF-8 bytes to an output stream as losslessly as possible.

Usually, paths are printed by calling Path::display or Path::to_string_lossy beforehand. However, both of these methods are always lossy; they misrepresent some valid paths in output. The same is true when using String::from_utf8_lossy to print any other UTF-8–like byte sequence.

Instead, this crate only performs a lossy conversion when the output device is known to require Unicode, to make output as accurate as possible. When necessary, any character sequence that cannot be represented will be replaced with REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER. That convention is shared with the standard library, which uses the same character for its lossy conversion functions.
