10
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
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 The command should be ended with ".go" unless one wants to enter the
29 Nypatchy interactive shell.
30
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 E Page ejects forced in the PAM file with +SEQ,QEJECT are honored
38 (only if the S option is also given).
39 H Print help information only.
41 I Line numbers for individual PAM files should each start at zero.
43 M Missing sequences should be signalled.
45 S Start each new deck on a new page.
47 X Do not signal actions.
49 Y Do not expand sequences called by +CDE.
51 Z Do not expand sequences called by +SEQ.
53 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 + Inhibit the initial page-eject.
