- Type(V1.3) ARP User's Manual Type(V1.3)
-
-
-
- NAME
- Type - Type a file, possibly with line numbers or in hex.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Type File/... TO/k OPT/k [HNBF] HEX/s NUMBER/s
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Type displays a file on the current window, or, if a TO
- argument is supplied, to a file. With the ARP version of
- Type, you can type many files with one TYPE command, and use
- wildcards as well. Note that due to this enhancement of
- Type it is possible to dispense with Join, since Type can do
- Join's job as well as its own.
-
- If you use Type without a filename, it will read from its
- standard input. This allows you to use Type in a pipeline,
- or to send keyboard input to a device (such as a printer) or
- a file. To terminate an interactive session with Type, use
- C-\ (Control \)
-
- OPTIONS
- HEX or OPT H
- This displays the file(s) in hexadecimal.
-
- NUMBER or OPT N
- This displays the file(s) with line numbers.
-
- OPT B
- This option (new with this ARP release) will display a
- banner before each file, indicating the name of the
- file being typed. This is very useful with wildcards.
-
- OPT F
- This option (new with this ARP release) will print a
- formfeed at the end of each file displayed. This will
- cause the screen to be cleared on the terminal, or the
- current page to be ejected from the printer.
-
- TO file
- The TO option lets you select a destination file
- instead of typing to the console. Note that with the
- ARP TYPE, you must explicitly specify the TO keyword,
- unlike the Commodore TYPE.
-
- EXAMPLE
- Type Type OPT H ; Type a binary file in hex.
