DESCRIPTION

       mytool  is a my map file manipulation program in the yudit
       distribution.  It can generates so-called binary nbit ( my
       )  map  file  that can map any sequences of bytes into any
       sequences of  bytes.  These  sequences  of  bytes  can  be
       grouped  into  1,2,4  and  8  bytes long words.  The input
       sequence length may be different from the matched sequence
       length.  'i  /  'n -> 'b specifies that the word 'in' pro­
       duces 'b' but only the  'i  is  consumed  from  the  input
       buffer.

       It  can  also  generate a so-called binary umap file, that
       maps 8 or 16 bit single words into 16 bit single words and
       it contains the reverse map too.

       It  can  also  disassemble the input map and produce a mys
       source file.

       The input can be a binary umap file, a my file, mys file a
       uni  and a kmap file for yudit. It is recommended that all
       kmap files use the new mys format because  it  gives  more
       freedom to define the mapping.

       The    yudit    distribution   has   a   simple   document
       yudit/doc/my.doc on the binary map formats, and  a  source
       file example file yudit/mytool/my/example.mys please refer
       to this for more details.



OPTIONS

       -info  prints out a small information on the current  map.

       -test  lets you test the map interactively.

       -showkeys
              show alls the keys in the map file.

       -encode
              disk  with the -write option The resulting my files
              can contain state machines to speed-up  conversion.
              A  state machine based my file can manifest 10%-70%
              performance improvement, so it may be desirable for
              encoding  fontmaps.   For fontmaps the bumap format
              might be better suited where only one character and
              not a sequence of characters need to be mapped.

       -decode
              builds  a state machine in the decoding part of the
              map file.

       -strip strips off the state machines from the  map  files.
              The  -write  option can be used to save the new map
              file.

       -benchmark
              option performs a simple benchmark test on the  map
              file,  to  compare  speed  of simple, state machine
              based and binary map based map files.

       -nocomment
              option strips all comments  from  an  input  source
              file  of  format  mys  kmap uni.  It does not strip
              comments from a binary file.

       -name new-name
              assigns a name to the map file.

       -comment new-comment
              assigns a comment to the map file.


       -type new-type
              assigns a map file a distinctive type, that can  be
              kmap or fontmap but it is only informative. Keymaps
              can be used as fontmaps and vice versa.

       -write output-file
              writes the data into an output file.  mytool  never
              modifies   the  original  file.  All  modifications
              should be explicitly saved with  the  this  option.
              Never specify the same file for input and output.

       -my input-file
              load a binary map file. Only one of this option can
              be specified.

       -mys input-source-file
              load a source file.

       -rmys input-source-file


       -kmap input-source-file
              load a source file in kmap format.

       -rkmap input-source-file
              load  a  source file and reverse it - make encoding
              from  decoding and vice versa.


       -uni:l,u input-source-file
              load a source file in  Unicode  Consortium  format.
              This  format  has  the  local code in column l, and
              unicode in column u. The numbering of columns start
              from 0.

       -runi:l,u input-source-file
              load a source file in Unicode Consortium format and
              reverses it. Make encoding from decoding  and  vice
              versa.


       -8     option  can be used with the -uni or -runi options.
              It specifies that the input is 8  bit  and  not  16
              bit.

       -high  option  can be used with the -uni or -runi options.
              It specifies that the  key  should  be  or'ed  with
              0x8080.

       -low   option  can be used with the -uni or -runi options.
              It specifies that the key  should  be  and'ed  with
              0x7f7f.


       -convert output-file-format
              converts  the  map  file  to a format. It is useful
              only when combined with -write otion.  The possible
              formats  are  my  -binary,  mys -source, myc -my-c-
              source,  umap  -umap-c-source,  bumap  -binary-umap
              formats.   For maps where only a single 8 or 16 bit
              local code  should be converted into 16 bit unicode
              and  vice  versa,  the umap file formats are recom­
              mended.  The c-source files are  provided  so  that
              you can inlucde a full map into the c program.


DIAGNOSTICS

         mytool prints out an error message and exits with a non-
       zero status on error.  If there is no error the exit  sta­
       tus is zero.
