NAME
nypatchy - tool to work with specialized-format patches
SYNOPSIS
nypatchy pam fort cradle print cc as data [ fort2 cc2 as2 data2 ]
DESCRIPTION
nypatchy is a tool for working with Patchy Master Files (PAM files). A PAM file is an
ordinary text file (generally with a three-letter extension of ".car") that holds source
code interleaved with special pre-processing instructions for nypatchy. The source code
may be in C, FORTRAN, assembly language, or a combination of these. The pre-processing
instructions allow one to maintain separate optional patches independently, for instance
in the case of architecture-specific code. Details of the pre-processing commands used by
nypatchy are beyond the scope of this man page; the reader should refer to the full manual
available from CERN.
Telling nypatchy which set of patches to use may be done on standard input or via a
so-called cradle file. Typically the cradle file will contain one or more +USE statements
as well as +EXE and +QUIT, for instance in the case of the isajet Monte Carlo generator:
+USE,*ISAJET
+EXE
+PAM
+QUIT
USAGE
In the command line shown above, pam is the PAM file, if any. fort is the name of the
primary output source code file, if any. cradle is the name of the cradle file, if any
(default is standard input, for instance a here-doc). print is the name of the file to
receive printed output (the default is standard output). cc, as, data are the names of
the source code output files for data types CC, AS, DATA. The remaining parameters are
the source code output files to receive diverted material for respective data types FORT,
CC, AS, DATA.
Parameters may be omitted by substituting a dash - for them. Trailing parameters may be
cut short by giving "." or ".go"; the latter commences execution immediately rather than
starting the nypatchy interactive prompt.
nypatchy will return to the shell a code of 0 if successful, 1 if there is a warning, and
2 if an error occurs. Since the program stops creating output, but continues to run (in
order to check for further errors) if an error occurs, the user should be sure to test the
error code $? after any nypatchy run.
EXAMPLES
nypatchy -- xyz .go
reads the cradle (instructions) from file xyz.cra, which must list all other files
to be used.
nypatchy .go << EOF
<cradle>
EOF
has the cradle given as a here-document.
nypatchy zebra.car zebra.fca zebra.cra zebra.lis .go
reads the PAM file zebra.car, outputting the resulting source code to zebra.fca,
taking the cradle from zebra.cra, with printing done to zebra.lis.
