NAME¶
nycheck - tool to check syntax of specialized-format patches
SYNOPSIS¶
nycheck pam options [
print ] [ .go ]
DESCRIPTION¶
nycheck is a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with
Patchy Master Files (PAM files); see
nypatchy(1). Specifically, it is a
syntax checker for these files which is more strict than
nypatchy
itself.
USAGE¶
The parameter
pam is the name of the PAM file (a default extension of
".car" is assumed),
print is the output file to write to (the
default is standard output if omitted), and
options is a sequence of
single-character flags.
The command should be ended with ".go" unless one wants to enter the
Nypatchy interactive shell.
OPTIONS¶
Note that options should be given as a single string of characters with no space
separation and no use of the - character (except that it can be used in place
of the options field if no options are desired). Alphabetic options are not
case-sensitive.
- H
- Print help information only.
- U
- Print a warning if user-defined types occur.
- n
- For n a number from 0 to 4 inclusive, assume 58, 62, 74, 84, or 98
lines per page in the output. (The default is 110 lines per page.) For
n a number greater than or equal to 20, use that specific number of
lines per page.
- +
- Inhibit the initial page-eject.

Running the command "nycheck help .no" also gives some brief help on
usage.
