data].



** Data formats **


*** Machine Instructions ***

   [ELF]:   Executable and Linkable Format, used by many [UNIX] systems.


*** Textual Printable ***

   [ycl]::text::ftclp:   Formats a string as a printable Tcl string.  Non-printable characters are transformed into their most simple [Dodekalogue%|%backslash-escaped] representation.



*** Textual Encoding ***

   [ASN]:   

   [netstrings]:   



*** Textual Recordset ***

   [csv]:   

   [recfile]:   


*** Textual Nesting Data Structure ***

   [deep dict]:   A [deep list] in which each deep list is interpreted as a deep dictionary.

   [deep list]:   A standard Tcl [list] in which each single [value] is encoded as a list containing only one item, and each list containing multiple items is itself a deep list.  This makes it possible to differentiate e.g., the single value `one two three` from a list containing the values `one`, `two`, and `three`.
