|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm strfile
|
|
.Op Fl iorsx
|
|
.Op Fl c Ar char
|
|
.Ar source_file
|
|
.Op Ar output_file
|
|
.Nm unstr

.Ar source_file
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Strfile
|
|
reads a file containing groups of lines separated by a line containing
|
|
a single percent
|
|
.Ql \&%
|
|
sign and creates a data file which contains
|
|
a header structure and a table of file offsets for each group of lines.
|
|
This allows random access of the strings.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The output file, if not specified on the command line, is named
|
|
.Ar source_file Ns Sy .out .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "-c char"
|
|
.It Fl c Ar char
|
|
Change the delimiting character from the percent sign to
|
|
.Ar char .
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Ignore case when ordering the strings.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Order the strings in alphabetical order.
|
|
The offset table will be sorted in the alphabetical order of the
|
|
groups of lines referenced.
|
|
Any initial non-alphanumeric characters are ignored.
|
|
This option causes the
|
|
.Dv STR_ORDERED
|
|
bit in the header
|
|
.Ar str_flags
|
|
field to be set.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Randomize access to the strings.
|
|
Entries in the offset table will be randomly ordered.
|
|
This option causes the
|
|
.Dv STR_RANDOM
|
|
bit in the header
|
|
.Ar str_flags
|
|
field to be set.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Run silently; don't give a summary message when finished.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Note that each alphabetic character in the groups of lines is rotated
|
|
13 positions in a simple caesar cypher.
|
|
This option causes the
|
|
.Dv STR_ROTATED
|
|
bit in the header
|
|
.Ar str_flags
|
|
field to be set.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The format of the header is:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
#define VERSION 1
|
|
unsigned long str_version; /* version number */
|
|
unsigned long str_numstr; /* # of strings in the file */
|
|
unsigned long str_longlen; /* length of longest string */
|
|
unsigned long str_shortlen; /* length of shortest string */
|
|
#define STR_RANDOM 0x1 /* randomized pointers */
|
|
#define STR_ORDERED 0x2 /* ordered pointers */
|
|
#define STR_ROTATED 0x4 /* rot-13'd text */
|
|
unsigned long str_flags; /* bit field for flags */
|
|
char str_delim; /* delimiting character */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All fields are written in network byte order.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The purpose of
|
|
.Nm unstr
|
|
is to undo the work of
|
|
.Nm strfile .
|
|
It prints out the strings contained in the file
|
|
.Ar source_file
|
|
in the order that they are listed in
|
|
the header file
|
|
.Ar source_file Ns Pa .dat
|
|
to standard output.
|
|
It is possible to create sorted versions of input files by using
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
when
|
|
.Nm strfile
|
|
is run and then using
|
|
.Nm unstr
|
|
to dump them out in the table order.
