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.
