NAME

cdoc − Compound document converter

SYNTAX

cdoc [ −s format ] [ −d format ] [ −O file ] [ −o outputfile ] inputfile

DESCRIPTION

The cdoc command converts the revisable format file, inputfile, to another revisable format or to a final form file.  If inputfile is not specified, cdoc reads from standard input.  Unless a destination file is specified with the −o option, the cdoc command displays files on standard output.

OPTIONS

−s format Specifies the format of the input (source) file.  The appropriate input converter module must be available for the specified format name.  The default format is DDIF. 

−d format Specifies the format of the output (destination) file.  The appropriate output converter module must be available for the specified format name.  The default format is DDIF. 

−O file Names a file that contains the processing options to be applied during conversion. 

Each line of the options file specifies a format name, which can contain upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, dollar signs, and underlines.  It can be preceded by spaces and tabs, although it does not have to be, and it is terminated by any character other than those listed.  The case of letters is not significant.  The syntax and interpretation of the text that follows the format name is specified by the supplier of the front and back ends for the specified format.  Multiple lines that specify the same format are permitted. 

DDIF and TEXT formats are currently supported for input and output; ANALYSIS and PS (PostScript) are supported for output only. 

−o outputfile Specifies the name of the output file.  If not specified, cdoc writes to standard output.
