convert-elinks(1)              DG/UX R4.11MU05             convert-elinks(1)


NAME
       convert-elinks - modify elink file format


SYNOPSIS
       convert-elinks [ option ] [ elink_path ] ...

   where:
       elinkpath is a pathname to an elink to modify.

DESCRIPTION
       The convert-elinks command modifies the specified elink files from
       both new and old form into new or old (if -o is specified) form with
       a specified sde.  If no elink_path arguments are supplied, all
       directories where elinks supplied with DG/UX are scanned and all
       discovered elinks are converted.

       Options are:

       -e defaultsde
              Use the argument as the default sde for all modified elinks.
              The name "dg" is assumed if omitted.

       -o     Convert elinks to old style.

       -s     Suppress the warning message given if a supplied elink_path is
              not an elink.

       -u usrprefix
              If supplied, the argument is prefixed to all absolute pathnmes
              that are internal to the command. This is not applied to
              elink_path arguments. If not supplied usr_prefix defaults to
              either $USR if defined or "/usr".

       -v     Print the paths of converted elinks to stdout.

EXAMPLES
       # convert-elinks

       The above invocation converts all elinks.
