/**
 * @brief   This DLE Encoder (Data Link Encoder) can be used to encode and
 *          decode arbitrary data with ASCII control characters
 * @details
 * List of control codes:
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes
 *
 * This encoder can be used to achieve a basic transport layer when using
 * char based transmission systems.
 * The passed source strean is converted into a encoded stream by adding
 * a STX marker at the startr of the stream and an ETX marker at the end of
 * the stream. Any STX, ETX and DLE occurences in the source stream are escaped
 * by a DLE character.
