ASA(1)                  FreeBSD General Commands Manual                 ASA(1)


NAME

     asa -- interpret carriage-control characters


SYNOPSIS

     asa [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.  The following characters are interpreted as follows:

     <space>  Output the rest of the line without change.

     0        Output a <newline> character before printing the rest of the
              line.

     1        Output a <formfeed> character before printing the rest of the
              line.

     +        The trailing <newline> of the previous line is replaced by a
              <carriage-return> before printing the rest of the line.

     Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if
     they begin with <space>.


EXIT STATUS

     The asa utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.


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


SEE ALSO

     f77(1)


STANDARDS

     The asa utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
