NAME

6       nysynopt - tool to list contents of specialized-format patches

SYNOPSIS

9       nysynopt pam options cradle [ print ] [ .go ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       nysynopt  is  a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with
13       Patchy Master Files (PAM files); see nypatchy(1).  Like nylist, it  can
14       print  a  listing  (including  line  numbers)  of the contents of these
15       files.  However, it permits fine-tuning of the output through  the  use
16       of  a  cradle file whose syntax is a subset of the nypatchy instruction
17       set.  It also expands sequences inline.
18

USAGE

20       The parameter pam is the name of the PAM file (a default  extension  of
21       ".car"  is  assumed), print is the output file to write to (the default
22       is standard output if omitted), and  options  is  a  sequence  of  sin‐
23       gle-character  flags.   cradle is the set of instructions for nysynopt.
24       If cradle is not given (or is replaced with  "-"),  standard  input  is
25       assumed.   This  argument  may also be replaced by the three characters
26       "EOF" to indicate that there is no cradle.
27
28       The command should be ended with ".go" unless one wants  to  enter  the
29       Nypatchy interactive shell.
30

OPTIONS

32       Note that options should be given as a single string of characters with
33       no space separation and no use of the - character (except that  it  can
34       be  used  in  place  of  the  options field if no options are desired).
35       Alphabetic options are not case-sensitive.
36
37       E      Page ejects forced in the PAM file with +SEQ,QEJECT are  honored
38              (only if the S option is also given).
39
40       H      Print help information only.
41
42       I      Line numbers for individual PAM files should each start at zero.
43
44       M      Missing sequences should be signalled.
45
46       S      Start each new deck on a new page.
47
48       X      Do not signal actions.
49
50       Y      Do not expand sequences called by +CDE.
51
52       Z      Do not expand sequences called by +SEQ.
53
54       n      For  n a number from 0 to 4 inclusive, assume 58, 62, 74, 84, or
55              98 lines per page in the output.  (The default is 110 lines  per
56              page.)   For  n  a  number greater than or equal to 20, use that
57              specific number of lines per page.
58
59       +      Inhibit the initial page-eject.
