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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
