39: .Op Ar
40: .Sh DESCRIPTION
41: The
42: .Nm
43: utility reads files sequentially, mapping
44: .Tn FORTRAN
45: carriage-control characters to line-printer control sequences,
46: and writes them to the standard output.
47: .Pp
48: The first character of each line is interpreted as a carriage-control
49: character. The following characters are interpreted as follows:
50: .Bl -tag -width indent
51: .It <space>
52: Output the rest of the line without change.
53: .It 0
54: Output a <newline> character before printing the rest of the line.
55: .It 1
56: Output a <formfeed> character before printing the rest of the line.
57: .It +
58: The trailing <newline> of the previous line is replaced by a <carriage-return>
59: before printing the rest of the line.
60: .El
61: .Pp
62: Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if they
63: begin with <space>.
64: .Sh EXAMPLES
65: To view a file containing the output of a
66: .Tn FORTRAN program:
67: .Dl asa file
68: .Pp
69: To format the output of a
70: .Tn FORTRAN
71: program and redirect it to a line-printer.
72: .Dl a.out | asa | lpr
73: .Sh DIAGNOSTICS
74: The
75: .Nm
76: utility exit 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
