-t, --test
Test fribidi, same as --clean --nobreak --showinput \ --reordernsm
-c, --charset CS
Specify character set, default is UTF-8
-C, --charsetdesc CS
Show descriptions for character set CS and exit
--caprtl
Old style: set character set to CapRTL
--showinput
Output the input string too
--nopad
Do not right justify RTL lines
--nobreak

-w, --width W
Screen width for padding, default is 80, but if \ environment variable COLUMNS is defined, its value \ will be used, --width overrides both of them.\
-B, --bol BOL
Output string BOL before the visual string
-E, --eol EOL
Output string EOL after the visual string
--rtl
Force base direction to RTL
--ltr
Force base direction to LTR
--wrtl
Set base direction to RTL if no strong character found
--wltr
Set base direction to LTR if no strong character found \ (default)
--nomirror
Turn mirroring off, to do it later
--reordernsm
Reorder NSM sequences to follow their base character
--clean
Remove explicit format codes in visual string \ output, currently does not affect other outputs

--levels
Output Embedding Levels
--changes

All string indexes are zero based

For each line of input, output something like this:
[input-str` => '][BOL][[padding space]visual-str][EOL] [\n base-dir][\n ltov-map][\n vtol-map][\n levels][\n changes]
