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.

Running the command "nycheck help .no" also gives some brief help on
usage.
