NAME

       udo - convert files from UDO into different formats

SYNOPSIS

       udo [-adDghHilmnpqrstvwWxy] source file
       udo [-adDghHilmnpqrstvwWxy] -o destination file source file

DESCRIPTION

       UDO  converts  files  from  the  UDO  format  into  Apple-QuickView, ASCII, HTML, Texinfo,
       Linuxdoc-SGML, Manualpage, Pure-C-Help, Rich Text Format, ST-Guide,  LaTeX,  Turbo  Vision
       Help or Windows Help.

       Using  the  first method UDO prints the destination format to the standard output (STDOUT)
       and error messages to the standard error output (STDERR).  Using  the  second  method  UDO
       writes  the  destination  format  to the destination file and error messages to a log file
       with the suffix .ul?.

       You have to pass single options to UDO : -al isn't the same as -a -l!

       The name of the source file has to be the last option.

EXAMPLES

       udo file.u

              Convert  the  source  file  `file.u' to ASCII (default) and print the output to the
              standard output and error messages to the standard error output.

       udo --tex -o output.tex file.u

              Convert the source file `file.u' to LaTeX and write the output to  the  file  named
              `output.tex'.  Warnings,  error messages and additional information will be written
              to the log file named `output.ult'.

       udo -s -y -l -o ! file.u

              Convert the source file `file.u' to ST-Guide and write the  output  to  `file.stg'.
              UDO won't save a log file or a file with syllabification patterns.

ENVIRONMENT

       HOME   UDO looks for the file udo.ini in your home directory if

              UDOPATH doesn't exist.

       LANG   Sets  the  language  UDO  shall  use  for  error  messages  if  neither  LC_ALL nor
              LC_MESSAGES exists.

       LC_ALL If this is set to `german' UDO prints German messages.  If  this  variable  doesn't
              exist LC_MESSAGES it tested instead.

       LC_MESSAGES
              See LC_ALL

              LANG is tested instead.

       UDOPATH
              UDO  looks  for  the  file  udo.ini  in  the directory defined by this variable. If
              UDOPATH doesn't exist HOME is tested instead.

EXIT STATUS

       0      Everything was OK.

       >0     An error has appeared.
