NAME
     bel, cvrtopt, gd, gtop, pd, ptog, quit, remcom, yoo - graph-
     ical utilities

SYNOPSIS
     command-name [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION
     Below is a list of miscellaneous device independent utility
     commands found in /usr/bin/graf.  If no files are given,
     input is from the standard input.  All output is to the
     standard output.  Graphical data is stored in GPS format;
     see gps(4).


     bel        - send bel character to terminal

     cvrtopt   [=sstring fstring istring tstring]  [args]  -
               options converter
               Cvrtopt reformats args (usually the command line
               arguments of a calling shell procedure) to facili-
               tate processing by shell procedures.  An arg is
               either a file name (a string not beginning with a
               -, or a - by itself) or an option string (a string
               of options beginning with a -).  Output is of the
               form:
                         -option -option . . . file name(s)
               All options appear singularly and preceding any
               file names.  Options that take values (e.g.,
               -r1.1) or are two-letters long must be described
               through options to cvrtopt.

               Cvrtopt is usually used with set in the following
               manner as the first line of a shell procedure:
                         set - `cvrtopt =[options] $@`
               Options to cvrtopt are:

               sstring   String accepts string values.

               fstring   String accepts floating point numbers as
                         values.

               istring   String accepts integers as values.

               tstring   String is a two-letter option name that
                         takes no value.

               String is a one- or two-letter option name.

     gd        [GPS files ]  - GPS dump
               Gd prints a human readable listing of GPS.

     gtop      [-rnu ]  [GPS files ]  - GPS to plot(4) filter
               Gtop transforms a GPS into plot(4) commands
               displayable by plot filters.  GPS objects are
               translated if they fall within the window that
               circumscribes the first file unless an option is
               given.
               Options:

               rn        translate objects in GPS region n.

               u         translate all objects in the GPS
                         universe.

     pd        [ plot(5) files ]  - plot(4) dump
               Pd prints a human readable listing of plot(4) for-
               mat graphical commands.

     ptog      [ plot(5) files ]  - plot(4) to GPS filter
               Ptog transforms plot(4) commands into a GPS.




     quit       - terminate session

     remcom    [ files ]  - remove comments
               Remcom copies its input to its output with com-
               ments removed.  Comments are as defined in C
               (i.e., /* comment */).

     whatis    [-o ]  [ names ]  - brief on-line documentation
               Whatis prints a brief description of each name
               given.  If no name is given, then the current list
               of description names is printed.  The command
               whatis \* prints out every description.
               Option:

               o         just print command options

     yoo       file - pipe fitting
               Yoo is a piping primitive that deposits the output
               of a pipeline into a file used in the pipeline.
               Note that, without yoo, this is not usually suc-
               cessful as it causes a read and write on the same
               file simultaneously.
