CONVERT(1) (Software Generation System Utilities) CONVERT(1)
NAME
convert - convert archive files to common formats
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The convert command transforms input infile to output

file and outfile will be the equivalent UNIX System V
Release 2.0 archive file. All other types of input to the
convert command will be passed unmodified from the input
file to the output file (along with appropriate warning
messages).
Infile must be different from outfile.
FILES
TMPDIR/conv* temporary files
TMPDIR is usually /usr/tmp but can be redefined by setting
the environment variable TMPDIR [see tempnam() in
tmpnam(3S)].
