NAME

       nyindex - tool to print index of specialized-format patches

SYNOPSIS

       nyindex pam options [ print ] [ .go ]

DESCRIPTION

       nyindex  is  a  tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with
       Patchy Master Files (PAM files); see nypatchy(1).  Specifically, it can
       output a table of contents and/or index for these files.

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.

       B      Print bare table of contents without comments.

       H      Print help information only.

       P      Patch names only in the table of contents.

       Q      Quick: suppress the table of contents.

       X      Suppress the index of patch, deck, and sequence names.

       Y      Suppress the index of deck and sequence names.

       Z      Suppress the index of sequence names.

       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.

       usage.
