+Mangle any character not on a whitelist using mangling_mode when
+processing device-mapper device names. The names are mangled on
+input and unmangled on output where the mangling_mode is one of:
+none (no mangling), hex (always do the mangling) and auto
+(only do the mangling if not mangled yet, do nothing if already
+mangled, error on mixed; this is used by default).
+Character whitelist: 0-9, A-Z, a-z, #+-.:=@_. This whitelist is
+also supported by udev. Any character not on a whitelist is replaced
+with its hex value (two digits) prefixed by \\x.
