  NAME

    alt - Runs the Ada library tool

  SYNOPSIS

    alt [file]

  DESCRIPTION

    The alt command allows the interactive display and editing of an Ada
    library file produced by the Ac command.  If file is a directory, the
    ADA-LIBRARY file is sought within the directory.  If no file is specified,
    the ADA-LIBRARY file is used.

    The following commands are recognized by alt:

    l [-dlst] [name ... ]
           Displays the library contents.  The default format displays each
           unit name followed by a description of the unit kind.

           The l command recognizes the following flags:

           -d   Displays the dependencies recorded for each compilation unit.

           -l   Displays in long format giving the source file and last
                compilation date of each compilation unit.

           -s   Displays subunit information.  The full parent name is given
                for each subunit and a list of all subunits is given for each
                parent.

           -t   Sorts compilation units by compilation times (latest first)
                instead of by name.

    d [-i] name ...
           Deletes all named compilation units from the library.  If the -i
           (interactive) flag is specified, the user is asked whether each
           compilation unit is to be deleted.

    w [file]
           Saves the library in the given file.  If no file is specified, the
           original is used.

    q
    end-of-file
           Quits the session.

    !command
           Escapes to the shell to execute command.

    Names given in an l or d command can be expressed as regular expressions
    in the style of the egrep command.

  EXAMPLES

    This is a sample alt session.

    $ alt
    ? l
    qmaze
    main
    ? q
    $

    In this session, the alt command is started.  The l command lists the
    specified library contents, which in this case is qmaze, a package
    declaration, and main, a subprogram body.  The user then enters a q to
    quit the alt command.

  EXIT VALUES

    The alt command exits with a value of 0 if successful.  If unsuccessful,
    this command exits with a value of 1.
