ASA(1) OpenBSD Reference Manual ASA(1)
NAME
asa, fpr - interpret carriage-control characters
SYNOPSIS
asa [file ...]
fpr [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The asa utility reads files sequentially, mapping FORTRAN carriage-con-
trol characters to line-printer control sequences, and writes them to the
standard output.
The first character of each line is interpreted as a carriage-control
character. Additionally, the following characters are interpreted as
shown:
<space>
Output the rest of the line without change.
0 Output a newline (`\n') character before printing the rest of the
line.
1 Output a <formfeed> character before printing the rest of the
line.
+ The trailing newline (`\n') of the previous line is replaced by a
carriage-return (`\r') before printing the rest of the line.
Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if
they begin with a space (` ').
EXAMPLES
To view a file containing the output of a FORTRAN program:
asa file
To format the output of a FORTRAN program and redirect it to a line-
printer.
a.out | asa | lpr
DIAGNOSTICS
The asa utility exits 0 on success or >0 if an error occurred.
SEE ALSO

STANDARDS
The asa utility conforms to IEEE Std1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2''). The fpr
utility is deprecated and its use should be restricted.
