NAME¶
nytidy - tool to clean up specialized-format patches
SYNOPSIS¶
nytidy old new options [
print ] [ .go ]
DESCRIPTION¶
nytidy is a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with
Patchy Master Files (PAM files); see
nypatchy(1). Specifically, it will
make a cleaned-up copy of a PAM file. Changes include removal of trailing
whitespace on each line, removal of trailing and leading comment lines (only
in FORTRAN decks), and update of some built-in sequences.
USAGE¶
The parameter
old is the name of the original PAM file (a default
extension of ".car" is assumed), while
new is the name of the
new cleaned PAM file to create. (If
new is not given or is given as
"-" then the original file will be overwritten; this may be
dangerous.)
print is the file to which informational messages should be
written (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.
- C
- Assume the original file is a CMZ output file.
- H
- Print help information only.
- V
- "verbose" - Print each change.
- +
- Inhibit the initial page-eject.
