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.
