dtifddif(1) General Commands Manual dtifddif(1) NAME dtifddif - convert DTIF formatted files to DDIF formatted files SYNOPSIS dtifddif [-m message_log] [-O optionfile] [-o outputfile] [-p op- tions_line]... [-d extension] [inputfile [outputfile [logfile]]] OPTIONS Enables enhanced messaging and logs all messages to message_log or, if `-' is specified, to the standard error in place of the message_log. If you do not specify this option, only serious errors are reported. Specifies the name of the options file containing options for this con- verter. The options file has a default file type of Each line of the op- tions file specifies a format name that can optionally be fol- lowed by _input or _output to restrict the option to either an input or output converter. The second word is a valid option preceded by one or more spaces, tabs, or a slash (/) and can contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, dollar signs, and underlines. The case of letters is not significant. If an option requires a value, then spaces, tabs, or an equal sign can separate the option from the value. You can precede any line by spaces and tabs. To terminate a line, use any character other than those used to specify the format names and options. The syntax and interpretation of the text that follows the format name is specified by the supplier of the front and back end converters for the specified format. To specify several options for the same input or output format, specify one option on a line. If an invalid option for an input or output format or an invalid value for an option is specified, the option may be ignored or an error message may be returned. Each input or output format that supports processing options specifies any restrictions or special formats required when specifying options. By default, any messages that occur during processing of the op- tions file are written to the standard error. For those input and output formats that support a LOG option, messages can be directed to a log file or to a common message log. Specifies the name of the output file. Included in the command syntax for compatibility with the cdoc command. Allows options to be spec- ified on the command line and has the same effect as specifying an options file for this converter. You can specify up to 100 options, each preceded by -p. Allows the specification of a de- fault file extension for compatibility with other operating sys- tems. DESCRIPTION The dtifddif command reads a DTIF (table) formatted file from inputfile and writes a DDIF formatted file to outputfile. Since this conversion crosses from the DTIF grammar domain to DDIF, the converter is also called a domain converter. To convert from file.dtif to file.ddif, type: dtifddif file.dtif file.ddif If you do not supply an input file, or if you supply a minus sign (-) as an argument, dtifddif reads the DDIF file from the standard input file. If you do not supply an output file, or if you supply a minus sign (-) as an argument, dtifddif writes the DDIF file to the standard output file. If the DTIF input file is a newer version of the DTIF grammar than that understood by the converter, data represented by the new grammar ele- ments is lost. A document syntax error in the DTIF input file causes a fatal input processing error. The conversion stops and no further input processing occurs. You can also invoke the dtifddif conversion with the cdoc(1) command when you use that command and specify a source format (-s) in the DTIF domain or a destination format (-d) in the DDIF domain. CONVERTER PROCESSING OPTIONS When converting any table format to any document format, you can spec- ify the following domain converter processing options using a format name of DTIF_TO_DDIF: Displays the column title as contained in the column attributes, centered at the top of the column. Displays the current date and time in the bottom left corner of the page. The value is formatted according to the document's specification for a default date and time. Displays the document date and time, as contained in the document header, in the top left corner of the page. The value is formatted according to the document's specification for a default date and time. Displays the document title or titles, as contained in the document header, centered at the top of the page, one string per line. Displays the current page number in the top right corner of the page. Specifies the size of the paper to be used when formatting the result- ing DDIF output file. Valid values for the size argument are as fol- lows: l lw(4.2i).
