NYSYNOPT(1) General Commands Manual NYSYNOPT(1) NAME
nysynopt - tool to list contents of specialized-format patches SYNOPSIS
nysynopt pam options cradle [ print ] [ .go ] DESCRIPTION
nysynopt is a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with Patchy Master Files (PAM files); see nypatchy(1). Like nylist, it can print a listing (including line numbers) of the contents of these files. However, it permits fine-tuning of the output through the use of a cradle file whose syntax is a subset of the nypatchy instruction set. It also expands sequences inline. 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. cradle is the set of instructions for nysynopt. If cradle is not given (or is replaced with "-"), standard input is assumed. This argument may also be replaced by the three characters "EOF" to indicate that there is no cradle. 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. E Page ejects forced in the PAM file with +SEQ,QEJECT are honored (only if the S option is also given). H Print help information only. I Line numbers for individual PAM files should each start at zero. M Missing sequences should be signalled. S Start each new deck on a new page. X Do not signal actions. Y Do not expand sequences called by +CDE. Z Do not expand sequences called by +SEQ. 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. SEE ALSO

NYPATCHY(1) General Commands Manual NYPATCHY(1) NAME
nypatchy - tool to work with specialized-format patches SYNOPSIS
nypatchy pam fort cradle print cc as data [ fort2 cc2 as2 data2 ] DESCRIPTION
nypatchy is a tool for working with Patchy Master Files (PAM files). A PAM file is an ordinary text file (generally with a three-letter extension of ".car") that holds source code interleaved with special pre-processing instructions for nypatchy. The source code may be in C, FORTRAN, assembly language, or a combination of these. The pre-processing instructions allow one to maintain separate optional patches independently, for instance in the case of architecture-specific code. Details of the pre-processing commands used by nypatchy are beyond the scope of this man page; the reader should refer to the full manual available from CERN. Telling nypatchy which set of patches to use may be done on standard input or via a so-called cradle file. Typically the cradle file will contain one or more +USE statements as well as +EXE and +QUIT, for instance in the case of the isajet Monte Carlo generator: +USE,*ISAJET +EXE +PAM +QUIT USAGE
In the command line shown above, pam is the PAM file, if any. fort is the name of the primary output source code file, if any. cradle is the name of the cradle file, if any (default is standard input, for instance a here-doc). print is the name of the file to receive printed output (the default is standard output). cc, as, data are the names of the source code output files for data types CC, AS, DATA. The remaining parameters are the source code output files to receive diverted material for respective data types FORT, CC, AS, DATA. Parameters may be omitted by substituting a dash - for them. Trailing parameters may be cut short by giving "." or ".go"; the latter com- mences execution immediately rather than starting the nypatchy interactive prompt. nypatchy will return to the shell a code of 0 if successful, 1 if there is a warning, and 2 if an error occurs. Since the program stops creating output, but continues to run (in order to check for further errors) if an error occurs, the user should be sure to test the error code $? after any nypatchy run. EXAMPLES
nypatchy -- xyz .go reads the cradle (instructions) from file xyz.cra, which must list all other files to be used. nypatchy .go << EOF <cradle> EOF has the cradle given as a here-document. nypatchy zebra.car zebra.fca zebra.cra zebra.lis .go reads the PAM file zebra.car, outputting the resulting source code to zebra.fca, taking the cradle from zebra.cra, with printing done to zebra.lis.
