.SH NAME
nysynopt \- tool to list contents of specialized\-format patches
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B nysynopt
.IR "pam options cradle" " [ " print " ] [ .go ]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBnysynopt\fP is a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs
for working with Patchy Master Files (PAM files);
see \fBnypatchy\fP(1). Like \fBnylist\fP, 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 \fBnypatchy\fP instruction set. It also expands sequences inline.
.SH USAGE
The parameter \fIpam\fP is the name of the PAM file (a default extension
of ".car" is assumed), \fIprint\fP is the output file to write to
(the default is standard output if omitted), and \fIoptions\fP is a sequence
of single\-character flags. \fIcradle\fP is the set of instructions for
\fBnysynopt\fP. If \fIcradle\fP 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.
.PP
The command should be ended with ".go" unless one wants to enter the
Nypatchy interactive shell.
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
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.
.TP
E
Page ejects forced in the PAM file with +SEQ,QEJECT are honored (only if the
S option is also given).
.TP
H
Print help information only.
.TP
I
Line numbers for individual PAM files should each start at zero.
.TP
M
Missing sequences should be signalled.
.TP
S
Start each new deck on a new page.
.TP
X
Do not signal actions.
.TP
Y
Do not expand sequences called by +CDE.
.TP
Z
Do not expand sequences called by +SEQ.
.TP
.I n
For \fIn\fP 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 \fIn\fP
a number greater than or equal to 20, use that specific number of lines per
page.
.TP
+
Inhibit the initial page\-eject.
