NAME
       moo -- Marco's Object Oriented calculator

SYNOPSIS
       moo [-lsu] [-b base] [expr] [...]

DESCRIPTION
       A  simple calculator that accepts C-like	syntax as input.  Calculations
       are done	on expr, if given.  Otherwise, the standard input is used.

       Numbers can be entered in hexadecimal (0xbeef), decimal	(1984),	 octal
       (007),  and  binary (0b1001).  All numerical operators (+, -, *,	/, %),
       bit operators (|, ^, &, ~, <<, >>), and logical operators (==,  !=,  <,
       >, <=, >=, !, &&, ||) are supported.

       Output  will be in the same bases as the	input, unless a	different base
       was specified (see -b flag below).  If only one number  is  input,  the
       result is printed in all	bases.

       The options are:

       -b base
	       Output  numbers	in  base format.  base can be 2, 8, 10,	16, or
	       `all'.  Multiple	bases may be specified by giving the  -b  flag
	       multiple	times.

       -l      Output bit labels for binary results.

       -s      Output base 10 numbers as signed.

       -u      Output base 10 numbers as unsigned.

SEE ALSO
       bc(1), dc(1), expr(1)

AUTHORS
       moo  was	 written for the public	domain by Ray Lai <ray@cyth.net> after
       much whining by Marco Peereboom.

CAVEATS
       Integer overflows are not checked.  Marco says,	``I  don't  think  you
       should  call the	integer	overflows a bug	but a feature.	You can	use it
       to test signed unsigned issues.''

BUGS
       Calculations are	limited	to the size of a 64-bit	integer.

       Like bc(1), moo parses ``3--2'' without error.
