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.
