+\title{Convert Characters to ASCII}
+\description{
+  Convert character vector to ASCII, replacing non-ASCII characters with
+  single-byte (\samp{\x00}) or two-byte (\samp{\u0000}) codes.
+}
+\usage{
+ASCIIfy(x, bytes = 2, fallback = "?")
+}
+\arguments{
+  \item{x}{a character vector, possibly containing non-ASCII
+    characters.}
+  \item{bytes}{either \code{1} or \code{2}, for single-byte
+    (\samp{\x00}) or two-byte (\samp{\u0000}) codes.}
+  \item{fallback}{an output character to use, when input characters
+    cannot be converted.}
+}
+\value{
+  A character vector like \code{x}, except non-ASCII characters have
+  been replaced with \samp{\x00} or \samp{\u0000} codes.
+}
+\author{Arni Magnusson \email{ar...@ha...}}
+\note{
+  To render single backslashes, use these or similar techniques:
+  \verb{
+    write(ASCIIfy(x), "file.txt")
+    cat(paste(ASCIIfy(x), collapse="\n"), "\n", sep="")}
+
+  The resulting strings are plain ASCII and can be used in R functions
+  and datasets to improve package portability.
+}
+\seealso{
+  \code{\link[tools]{showNonASCII}} identifies non-ASCII characters in
+  a character vector.
