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