πŸ’… outocp β€” ok bestie, let's talk

First things first: this page lives in the General Commands Manual part of your system, and the star of the show is a command called outocp. Grab a snack, hydrate, and let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

outocp β€” debug an OCP file πŸ’€


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

outocp OCPFILE[.ocp]

That's literally it. You hand it an OCP file, and the .ocp on the end is optional β€” it'll cope. Iconic behaviour honestly.


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the tea β˜• outocp is your debugging bestie for Omega Compiled Translation Process (OCP) files. What does it do? Two things, periodt:

  1. It generates some statistics about the OCP file β€” numbers, facts, the whole vibe check πŸ“Š
  2. Then it runs through all the states</> that the file defines πŸ‘‘

And what even are Omega Translation Processes, you ask? They're rules β€” rules used to translate one character set to another, and to choose between characters that have one or more context-sensitive variants. (Yeah that's all we get. Slay.) OTPs could also be used to change the case or the hyphenation of text. Versatile queen, we love her πŸ’…


πŸ’€ BUGS πŸ’€

Found a bug? Not cute, not the vibe. Email your bug reports to https://lists.tug.org/tex-k β€” it's a public mailing list, so everyone sees, no secrets, fr fr πŸ™ˆ


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

Also go peek at https://ctan.org/pkg/omega β€” doors are open πŸ‘€


πŸ‘‘ AUTHOR πŸ‘‘

mkocp is part of Omega. (Yes, it says mkocp β€” we don't make the rules πŸ“) The primary authors of Omega are John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous β€” literal icons, no cap.

This manual page was written by C.M. Connelly for the Debian GNU/Linux system. It is now maintained as part of TeX Live πŸ’–


Also just so you know: this whole thing is about the command, not by the command. If you're staring at outocp(1) and wondering who wrote it β€” now you know. Main character energy from C.M. Connelly, honestly 🌈

And that's a wrap, bestie πŸ¦‹ This little beauty ships as part of TeX Live, dated 8 March 2022, sitting pretty in the outocp(1) slot of your manual pages. Go debug something, you got this βœ¨πŸ’œ
