NAME

       nyindex - tool to print index of specialized-format patches

SYNOPSIS

       nyindex pam options [ print ] [ .go ]

DESCRIPTION

       nyindex  is  a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with Patchy Master Files
       (PAM files); see nypatchy(1).  Specifically, it can output  a  table  of  contents  and/or
       index for these files.

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.

       B      Print bare table of contents without comments.

       H      Print help information only.

       P      Patch names only in the table of contents.

       Q      Quick: suppress the table of contents.

       X      Suppress the index of patch, deck, and sequence names.

       Y      Suppress the index of deck and sequence names.

       Z      Suppress the index of sequence names.

       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.
