DESCRIPTION

       rubikrotation  is  a Perl script for processing Rubik cube rotations (3x3x3 and 2x2x2). It is part of the
       LaTeX  rubikrotation  package,  and  is  typically  CALLed  by  rubikrotation.sty,  in  response  to  the
       RubikRotation{}  command:  see  the  package  manual  (rubikrotation.pdf)  for details. The rubikrotation
       package is part of the LaTeX Rubik `bundle'. The latest version can be downloaded from

       CTAN: mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rubik/

       rubikrotation reads Rubik state data and commands (sequence of rotations) from an input file, and  writes
       the  new  state  data to an output file. The input and output filenames can be  specified as command-line
       arguments (see: command-line use).

       If  a  configuration  file  exists  (rubikrotation.cfg)  then  it  will  be  automatically  be  read   by
       rubikrotation.sty.

COMMAND-LINE USE

       rubikrotation  [-h|--help|-v|--version] [-o  <outfile>]  -i  <infile>

       -h displays the help info and exits.

       -v displays the version info and exits.

       -i  defines  the  input  filename.   The  default  input  filename  set  by  the rubikrotation package is
       rubikstate.dat, and this is generated by the LaTeX RubikRotation{} command (see the  rubikrotation  LaTeX
       package  manual  rubikrotation.pdf).   Note  that the rubikrotation perl script expects the input file to
       have a certain structure, as described in rubikrotation.pdf and rubikrotationPL.pdf).

       -o defines the output filename.  If no output filename is given then the default filename rubikOUT.txt is
       used.
