NYTIDY(1)

💅 NYTIDY(1) — General Commands Manual 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the nytidy page — it's giving “Nypatchy suite cleanup era,” and honestly? iconic. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

nytidy — tool to clean up specialized-format patches. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nytidy old new options [ print ] [ .go ]

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So nytidy is a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with Patchy Master Files (PAM files) — see nypatchy(1), iykyk. Specifically, it will make a cleaned-up copy of a PAM file. 💅

The changes include:

• removal of trailing whitespace on each line
• removal of trailing and leading comment lines (only in FORTRAN decks)
• update of some built-in sequences

literally a glow-up for your PAM file. ✨

🎀 USAGE 🎀

The parameter old is the name of the original PAM file — a default extension of .car is assumed, bestie. The parameter new is the name of the new cleaned PAM file to create. 🍓

If new is not given or is given as - then the original file will be overwritten; this may be dangerous. 💀 like, be so fr.

print is the file to which informational messages should be written — the default is standard output if omitted. 📝

options is a sequence of single-character flags. yes, single characters, we're doing compact mode. 💅

The command should be ended with .go unless one wants to enter the Nypatchy interactive shell. 👑

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

Note that options should be given as a single string of characters with no space separation and no use of the - character — except that it can be used in place of the options field if no options are desired. Alphabetic options are not case-sensitive. periodt. 🌈

• C — Assume the original file is a CMZ output file.
• H — Print help information only.
• V — “verbose” — Print each change.
• + — Inhibit the initial page-eject.
