NAME

       ptbl - print a type table

SYNOPSIS

       ptbl [-a] <tbl-file>

DESCRIPTION

       ptbl  prints  the  give  type  table  to  stdout.  It will print it in one of two formats:
       internal style and ASN.1 stlye.  The internal style shows the contents of the  type  table
       data  structure  in  ASN.1  value notation.  You will need to look at the tbl.asn1 file to
       understand the internal form.  The  ASN.1  form  attempts  to  re-create  the  ASN.1  that
       generated the given type table.

OPTIONS

       -a     Print the table in ASN.1 style (recommended)

BUGS

       ptbl does not attempt to print the IMPORTs information even though it is possible  with  a
       bit of work.
