|
||||
|
||||
.SH USAGE
|
||||
Perform precise read and write operations on files. This utility is useful for
|
||||
reading and writing binary data to and from disks, hence the name.
|
||||
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B -i
|
||||
option takes a path as an argument to open and use in place of standard input.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B -o
|
||||
option does the same in place of standard output. Dj does not truncate output
|
||||
files and instead writes over the bytes in the existing file.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The
|
||||
This manual page uses the terms \(lqskip\(rq and \(lqseek\(rq to refer to moving
|
||||
to a specified byte by index in the input and output of the program
|
||||
respectively. This language is inherited from the
|
||||
.BR dd (1p)
|
||||
utility and is used here to decrease ambiguity.
|
||||
|
||||
When seeking or skipping to a byte, writing or reading starts at the byte
|
||||
immediately subsequent to the specified byte.
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
.IP \fB-i\fP
|
||||
Takes a file path as an argument and opens it for use as an input.
|
||||
.IP \fB-b\fP
|
||||
Takes a numeric argument as the size in bytes of the input buffer, with the
|
||||
default being 1024.
|
||||
.IP \fB-s\fP
|
||||
Takes a numeric argument as the number of bytes to skip into the input
|
||||
before starting to read. If the standard input is used, bytes read to this point
|
||||
are discarded.
|
||||
.IP \fB-o\fP
|
||||
Takes a file path as an argument and opens it for use as an output.
|
||||
.IP \fB-B\fP
|
||||
Does the same as
|
||||
.B -b
|
||||
option takes a numeric argument as the size in bytes of the input buffer and
|
||||
the
|
||||
.B -B
|
||||
option does the same for the output buffer, the default for both being 1024
|
||||
bytes, or one kibibyte (KiB).
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B -s
|
||||
option takes a numeric argument as the number of bytes to skip into the input
|
||||
before starting to read, and the
|
||||
.B -S
|
||||
option skips a number of bytes through the output before starting to write from
|
||||
the input. If the input is a stream the bytes are read and discarded. If the
|
||||
output is a stream, nul characters are printed.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The
|
||||
but for the output buffer.
|
||||
.IP \fB-S\fP
|
||||
Seeks a number of bytes through the output before starting to write from
|
||||
the input. If the output is a stream, null characters are printed.
|
||||
.IP \fB-a\fP
|
||||
Accepts a single literal byte with which input buffer is padded in the event
|
||||
of an incomplete read from the input file.
|
||||
.IP \fB-A\fP
|
||||
Specifying this option pads the input buffer with null bytes in the event of an
|
||||
incomplete read. Equivalent to specifying
|
||||
.B -a
|
||||
option takes one argument of one byte in length and pads the input buffer with
|
||||
that byte in the event that a read doesn't fill the input buffer, and the
|
||||
.B -A
|
||||
option takes no arguments and pads with nuls.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B -c
|
||||
option specifies an amount of reads to make, and if 0 (the default) dj will
|
||||
continue reading until a partial or empty read.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
On a partial or empty read, dj prints a diagnostic message (unless the
|
||||
.B -q
|
||||
option is specified) and exits (unless the
|
||||
.B -n
|
||||
option is specified, in which case only two consecutive empty reads will cause
|
||||
dj to exit).
|
||||
At exit, usage statistics are printed unless the option
|
||||
.B -q
|
||||
is specified a second time. The
|
||||
.B -H
|
||||
option will make these diagnostics human-readable.
|
||||
with a null byte instead of a character.
|
||||
.IP \fB-c\fP
|
||||
Specifies a number of reads to make. The default is zero, in which case the
|
||||
input is read until a partial or empty read is made.
|
||||
.IP \fB-d\fP
|
||||
Prints invocation information before program execution as described in the
|
||||
DIAGNOSTICS section below. Each invocation increments the debug level of the
|
||||
program.
|
||||
.IP \fB-H\fP
|
||||
Prints diagnostics messages in a human-readable manner as described in the
|
||||
DIAGNOSTICS section below.
|
||||
.IP \fB-n\fP
|
||||
Retries failed reads once more before exiting.
|
||||
.IP \fB-q\fP
|
||||
Suppresses error messages which print when a read or write is partial or
|
||||
empty. Each invocation decrements the debug level of the program.

.B -n
|

This format for diagnostic output is designed to be machine-parseable for

.R {records read} '+' {partial records read} '>' {records written}
|
||||
.R '+' {partial records written} ';' {bytes read} '>' {bytes written}
|
||||
.R {ASCII line feed}
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The
|
||||
.B -q
|
||||
option suppresses error messages which print when a read or write is partial or
|
||||
empty and when used twice suppresses diagnostic output entirely.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
In non-recoverable errors that don't pertain to dj's read-write cycle, a
|
||||
diagnostic message is printed and dj exits with the appropriate sysexits(3)
|
||||
status.
|
||||
.RE
|
||||
|
||||
If the
|
||||
.B -d
|
||||
option is specified, debug output will be printed at the beginning of
|
||||
execution. This debug information contains information regarding how the program
|
||||
was invoked. The following example is the result of running the program with
|
||||
.B -d
|
||||
as the only argument:
|
||||

|

If
|
||||
.B -n
|
||||
is specified along with a specified count, actual byte output may be lower than
|
||||
expected (the product of the count multiplied by the input block size). If the

is specified along with the
|
||||
.B -c
|
||||
option and a count, actual byte output may be lower than expected (the product
|
||||
of the count and the input block size). If the
|
||||
.B -a
|
||||
or
|
||||
.B -A

.\"
|
||||
.SH CAVEATS
|
||||
|
||||
Existing files are not truncated on ouput and are instead overwritten.
|
||||
|
||||
Many lowercase options have capitalized variants and vice-versa which can be
|
||||
confusing. Capitalized options tend to affect output or are more intense
|
||||
versions of lowercase options.

Dj was modeled after the dd utility specified in POSIX but adds additional
|
||||
features: typical option formatting, allowing seeks to be specified in bytes
|
||||
rather than in blocks, allowing arbitrary bytes as padding, and printing in a
|
||||
format that's easy to parse for machines. It also neglects character
|
||||
conversion, which may be dd's original intent but is irrelevant to its modern
|
||||
use.
|
||||
|
||||
This program was based on the
|
||||
.BR dd (1p)
|
||||
utility as specified in POSIX. While character conversion may have been the
|
||||
original intent of
|
||||
.BR dd (1p),
|
||||
it is irrelevant to its modern use. Because of this, this program eschews
|
||||
character conversion and adds typical option formatting, allowing seeks to be
|
||||
specified in bytes rather than in blocks, allowing arbitrary bytes as padding,
|
||||
and printing in a format that\(cqs easy for machines to parse.

Intcmp compares integers.
|
||||
.IP \fB-e\fP
|
||||

.IP \fB-g\fP
|

.IP \fB-l\fP
|

|

.\"
|
||||
.SH EXAMPLES
|
||||
|
||||
.SH USAGE
|
||||
|
||||
The -e option permits given integers to be equal to each other. If combined
|
||||
with -g or -l, only adjacent integers in the argument sequence can be equal.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The -g option permits a given integer to be greater than the following integer.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The -l option permits a given integer to be less than the following integer.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
It may help to think of the -e, -g, and -l options as equivalent to the
|
||||
infix algebraic “=”, “>”, and “<” operators respectively, with each option
|
||||
putting its symbol between every given integer. For example,
|
||||
infix algebraic \(lq=\(rq, \(lq>\(rq, and \(lq<\(rq operators respectively, with
|
||||
each option putting its symbol between every given integer. The following
|
||||
example is equivalent to evaluating \(lq1 < 2 < 3\(rq:
|
||||
\"
|
||||
.RS
|
||||
.R intcmp -l 1 2 3
|
||||
is equivalent to evaluating "1 < 2 < 3".

|

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
||||
|
||||
Intcmp exits 0 for a valid expression and 1 for an invalid expression.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Intcmp prints a debug message and exits with the appropriate sysexits(3) error
|
||||
code in the event of an error.
|
||||
The program will exit with a status code of 0 for a valid expression and with a
|

In the event of an error, a debug message will be printed and the program will

.\"
|
||||
.SH BUGS
|
||||
|
||||
There are multiple ways to express compound comparisons; “less than or equal
|
||||
to” can be -le or -el, for example.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
The inequality comparison is -gl or -lg for “less than or greater than”; this

Str tests each character in an arbitrary quantity of string arguments against

Test string arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
The tests in this program are equivalent to the functions with the same names in

.\"
|

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|

|
||||
Str exits successfully if all tests pass and unsuccessfully if a test failed.

|

Str will exit unsuccessfully if a string is empty, as none of its contents

passed the test.

Str will print a message to standard error and exit unsuccessfully if used

improperly.

tests fail, the program will exit unsuccessfully with an error code of 1.

.SH DEPRECATED FEATURES
|
||||
An empty string will cause an unsuccessful exit as none of its contents pass any
|

tests.
|
||||
|

Str used to have an "isvalue" type as an extension to ctype(3). This was
|
||||
removed in favor of using strcmp(1) to compare strings against the empty string
|

('').

When invoked incorrectly, a debug message will be printed and the program will
