NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

ml1 is also useful for systematic editing, i.e. the replacement of one string, possibly involving parameters, by another string throughout a program or any other piece of text.

This manual page merely summarises the ml1 command line options; consult the full ML/I documentation for anything else.

The options are as follows:

-v

 

-V

Print the version number of this implementation of ml1.

-w n

 

-W n

Set the amount of workspace available to ml1 to n words (the default is 5000 words).

-l file

 

-L file

Nominate file as the listing file. The default is that no listing is produced. The name - is taken to mean the standard output.

-d file

 

-D file

Nominate file as the debugging file. By default, this is the standard error stream (usually the user's terminal). The name - is taken to mean the standard output.

-o file

 

-O file

Nominate file as an output file. Up to four output files may be specified; each must be preceded by the -o flag. If no output files are specified, the standard output is used. An output file named - is also taken to be the standard output.

All other arguments to ml1 are taken to be the names of input files; there may be no more than five of these. If no input file is specified, the standard input is used. The name - is also taken to mean the standard input.
