NAME

       udo - convert files from UDO into different formats

SYNOPSIS

       udo [-adDghHilmnpqrstvwWxy] source file
       udo [-adDghHilmnpqrstvwWxy] -o destination file source file

DESCRIPTION

       UDO  converts  files  from  the UDO format into Apple-QuickView, ASCII,
       HTML,  Texinfo,  Linuxdoc-SGML,  Manualpage,  Pure-C-Help,  Rich   Text
       Format, ST-Guide, LaTeX, Turbo Vision Help or Windows Help.

       Using  the  first  method  UDO  prints  the  destination  format to the
       standard output (STDOUT) and  error  messages  to  the  standard  error
       output  (STDERR).  Using  the  second method UDO writes the destination
       format to the destination file and error messages to a  log  file  with
       the suffix .ul?.

       You have to pass single options to UDO : -al isn’t the same as -a -l!

       The name of the source file has to be the last option.

EXAMPLES

       udo file.u

              Convert the source file ‘file.u’ to ASCII  (default)  and  print
              the  output  to  the  standard  output and error messages to the
              standard error output.

       udo --tex -o output.tex file.u

              Convert the source file ‘file.u’ to LaTeX and write  the  output
              to  the  file  named  ‘output.tex’. Warnings, error messages and
              additional information will be written to  the  log  file  named
              ‘output.ult’.

       udo -s -y -l -o ! file.u

              Convert  the  source  file  ‘file.u’  to  ST-Guide and write the
              output to ‘file.stg’. UDO won’t save a log file or a  file  with
              syllabification patterns.

ENVIRONMENT

       HOME   UDO looks for the file udo.ini in your home directory if

              UDOPATH doesn’t exist.

       LANG   Sets  the  language  UDO shall use for error messages if neither
              LC_ALL nor LC_MESSAGES exists.

       LC_ALL If this is set to ‘german’ UDO prints German messages.  If  this
              variable doesn’t exist LC_MESSAGES it tested instead.

       LC_MESSAGES
              See LC_ALL

              LANG is tested instead.

       UDOPATH
              UDO  looks for the file udo.ini in the directory defined by this
              variable. If UDOPATH doesn’t exist HOME is tested instead.

EXIT STATUS

       0      Everything was OK.

       >0     An error has appeared.
