GUTIL(1G)                            SysV                            GUTIL(1G)



NAME
     gutil - graphic utilities

SYNOPSIS
     command-name [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION
     Below is a list of miscellaneous device-independent utility commands
     found in /usr/bin/graf.  If no files are given, input is from the
     standard input.  All output is to the standard output.  Graphic data is
     stored in GPS format; see gps(4).


     bel       Sends bel character to terminal.

     cvrtopt [=sstring fstring istring tstring] [args]
               Converts options.  Reformats args (usually the command line
               arguments of a calling shell procedure) to facilitate
               processing by shell procedures.  An arg is either a file name
               (a string not beginning with a -, or a - by itself) or an
               option string (a string of options beginning with a -).  Output
               is of the form:


                         -option -option . . . file name(s)


               All options appear singularly and preceding any filenames.
               Options that take values (e.g., -r1.1) or are two letters long
               must be described through options to cvrtopt.

               cvrtopt is usually used with set in the following manner as the
               first line of a shell procedure:

                         set - cvrtopt =[options] $@

               Options to cvrtopt are:

               sstring   String accepts string values.

               fstring   String accepts floating point numbers as values.

               istring   String accepts integers as values.

               tstring   String is a two-letter option name that takes no
                         value.

               String is a one- or two-letter option name.

     gd [GPSfiles] - GPS dump
               Prints a human-readable listing of GPS.

     gtop [-rnu] [GPSfiles]
               GPS to plot(4) filter.  Transforms a GPS into plot(4) commands
               displayable by plot filters.  GPS objects are translated if
               they fall within the window that circumscribes the first file
               unless an option is given.  Options to gtop are:

               rn        Translates objects in GPS region n.

               u         Translates all objects in the GPS universe.

     pd [plot(5)files]
               plot(4) dump.  Prints a human-readable listing of plot(4)
               format graphic commands.

     ptog [plot(5)files]
               plot(4) to GPS filter.  Transforms plo(4) commands into a GPS.

     quit      Terminates session.

     remcom [files]
               Remove comments.  Copies its input to its output with comments
               removed.  Comments are as defined in C (i.e., /* comment */).

     whatis [-options] [names]
               Brief online documentation.  Prints a brief description of each
               name given.  If no name is given, then the current list of
               description names is printed.  The command whatis\* prints out
               every description.  Using the -o option causes only command
               options to be printed.

     yoofile   Pipe fitting primitive.  Deposits the output of a pipeline into
               a file used in the pipeline.  Without yoo, this is not usually
               successful as it causes a read and write on the same file
               simultaneously.
