       NAME
             alpq - query the alp STREAMS module

       SYNOPSIS
             alpq

       DESCRIPTION
             The alpq command takes no arguments or options.  It presents,
             on its standard output, a list of the functions currently
             registered with the alp STREAMS module.  For information on
             building and using these functions, see alp(7).

             The output list contains entries like the following:
                   1  Ucase    (Upper to lower case converter)

             The first field is a sequence number.  The second field is the
             function's name (by which it may be accessed), and the third
             field is the function's explanation string.

             The alpq command works by pushing the alp STREAMS module,
             querying it via ioctl(2), and then popping it immediately; its
             standard input (normally the user's tty) must therefore be a
             stream.
