what's the Linux counterpart of 'vis' in HPUX

hi all,

I found the vis and inv command in HPUX is quite useful, but they seemed to be proprietory to HP, is there any similar command in Linux?

thanks,
Gary

For 'vis', 'cat -v' should be the equivalent.

As for 'inv', well, 'strings' would be the closest in my experience.
