NAME

6       zcv - convert text representation of a matrix to binary format
7

SYNOPSIS

9       zcv [OPTIONS] <TextFile> <DataFile>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  program  converts  a  text file into binary format.  If the input
13       file name is "-", input is read from stdin.
14
15   Text File Format
16       The text file is interpreted line by line.   Empty  lines  are  ignored
17       completely.  If the line contains one or more "#" characters, which may
18       occur at any position, the first "#" and all  remaining  characters  on
19       this line are ignored.
20
21       Each  object,  for example a matrix or a permutation, consists of a one
22       line header followed by the data. Here are some  examples  of  possible
23       header formats:
24
25         matrix field=16 rows=10 cols=10
26         permutation degree=10026
27         polynomial field=2 degree=23
28
29       The header may be given in a different format, for example:
30
31         MeatAxeFileInfo := "matrix field=5 rows=100 cols=100";
32
33       Other  header  formats  are supported for compatibility with older ver‐
34       sions of the MeatAxe.
35
36       After an old type 1 header, the format of the data follwing the  header
37       is  fixed.  There must be at most 80 characters per line, lines must be
38       filled as much as possible, and each row of the matrix  starts  with  a
39       new  input  line.  There are no blanks allowed to separate numbers.  In
40       all other modes, the data part consists of a sequence  of  integers  in
41       free format, separated by any combination of blanks, tabs, or newlines.
