NAME

       nycheck - tool to check syntax of specialized-format patches

SYNOPSIS

       nycheck pam options [ print ] [ .go ]

DESCRIPTION

       nycheck is a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with Patchy Master Files (PAM files); see
       nypatchy(1).   Specifically,  it  is  a syntax checker for these files which is more strict than nypatchy
       itself.

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.

       H      Print help information only.

       U      Print a warning if user-defined types occur.

       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.
