NAME

orb2orb_pfconvert - Convert orb2orb parameter-file from Antelope 5.9 to 5.10 format

SYNOPSIS

orb2orb_pfconvert [-n] pfname [pfout]

DESCRIPTION

The orb2orb_pfconvert program modifies a named parameter-file pfname to be compatible with Antelope 5.10 and later versions of the orb2orb(1) program. If only pfname is specified, any pre-existing file pfname.pf is moved to pfname.pf-- and the file pfname.pf is rewritten. If pfout is specified, the resulting parameter-file is written to the specified filename. Reports about the changes being made are emitted to stderr, prefaced with hash marks to make them harmless comments in case they get accidentally redirected into the output file.

BUGS AND CAVEATS

orb2orb_pfconvert relies on the default orb2orb.pf parameter-file in $ANTELOPE/data/pf to be unmodified and up-to-date. orb2orb_pfconvert does not preserve comments in the parameter file. orb2orb_pfconvert assumes that the input is a valid Antelope 5.9 version orb2orb parameter-file. The orb2orb_pfconvert program is an updater, not a verifier -- it does not check for the presence of all necessary entries. orb2orb_pfconvert will complain and exit rather than overwriting any previously made backup files.
