NAME

6       nycheck - tool to check syntax of specialized-format patches
7

SYNOPSIS

9       nycheck pam options [ print ] [ .go ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       nycheck  is  a  tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with
13       Patchy Master Files (PAM files); see nypatchy(1).  Specifically, it  is
14       a  syntax  checker  for  these files which is more strict than nypatchy
15       itself.
16

USAGE

18       The parameter pam is the name of the PAM file (a default  extension  of
19       ".car"  is  assumed), print is the output file to write to (the default
20       is standard output if omitted), and  options  is  a  sequence  of  sin‐
21       gle-character flags.
22
23       The  command  should  be ended with ".go" unless one wants to enter the
24       Nypatchy interactive shell.
25

OPTIONS

27       Note that options should be given as a single string of characters with
28       no  space  separation and no use of the - character (except that it can
29       be used in place of the options  field  if  no  options  are  desired).
30       Alphabetic options are not case-sensitive.
31
32       H      Print help information only.
33
34       U      Print a warning if user-defined types occur.
35
36       n      For  n a number from 0 to 4 inclusive, assume 58, 62, 74, 84, or
37              98 lines per page in the output.  (The default is 110 lines  per
38              page.)   For  n  a  number greater than or equal to 20, use that
39              specific number of lines per page.
40
41       +      Inhibit the initial page-eject.
