     [ -benchmark ] [ -name new-name ] [ -comment new-comment ] [ -type new-type
     ] [ -write output-file ] [ -my input-file ] [ -mys input-file ] [ -rmys in-
     put-file ] [ -kmap input-file ] [ -rkmap input-file ] [ -uni:l,u input-file
     [	-8 ] [ -high ] [ -low ] [ -runi:l,u input-file [ -8 ] [ -high ] [ -low ]
     ] [ -convert out-file-format ]

DESCRIPTION
     mytool is a my map file manipulation program in the yudit distribution.  It
     can generates so-called binary nbit ( my ) map file that can  map	any  se-
     quences  of bytes into any sequences of bytes. These sequences of bytes can
     be grouped into 1,2,4 and 8 bytes long words.  The  input	sequence  length
     may  be different from the matched sequence length. 'i / 'n -> 'b specifies
     that the word 'in' produces 'b' but only the 'i is consumed from the  input
     buffer.

     It  can  also  generate a so-called binary umap file, that maps 8 or 16 bit
     single words into 16 bit single words and it contains the reverse map too.

     It can also disassemble the input map and produce a mys source file.

     The input can be a binary umap file, a my file, mys file a uni and  a  kmap
     file  for yudit. It is recommended that all kmap files use the new mys for-
     mat because it gives more freedom to define the mapping.

     The yudit distribution has a simple document yudit/doc/my.doc on the binary
     map formats, and a source	file  example  file  yudit/mytool/my/example.mys
     please refer to this for more details.

OPTIONS
     -info  prints out a small information on the current map.

     -test  lets you test the map interactively.

     -showkeys
	    show all the keys in the map file.

     -encode
	    builds a state machine in the encoding part of the map file. The re-
	    sulting  map  file can be written to disk with the -write option The
	    resulting my files can contain state machines  to  speed-up  conver-
	    sion. A state machine based my file can manifest 10%-70% performance
	    improvement,  so  it  may  be  desirable for encoding fontmaps.  For
	    fontmaps the bumap format might be	better	suited	where  only  one
	    character and not a sequence of characters need to be mapped.

     -decode
	    builds a state machine in the decoding part of the map file.

     -strip
	    strips off the state machines from the map files.  The -write option
	    can be used to save the new map file.

     -benchmark
	    option  performs a simple benchmark test on the map file, to compare
	    speed of simple, state machine based and binary map based map files.

     -nocomment
	    option strips all comments from an input source file of  format  mys
	    kmap uni.  It does not strip comments from a binary file.

     -name new-name
	    assigns a name to the map file.

     -comment new-comment
	    assigns a comment to the map file.

     -type new-type
	    assigns  a	map file a distinctive type, that can be kmap or fontmap
	    but it is only informative. Keymaps can be used as fontmaps and vice
	    versa.

     -write output-file
	    writes the data into an output  file.   mytool  never  modifies  the
	    original file. All modifications should be explicitly saved with the
	    this option.  Never specify the same file for input and output.

     -my input-file
	    load a binary map file. Only one of this option can be specified.

     -mys input-source-file
	    load a source file.

     -rmys input-source-file
	    load  a  source  file and reverse it - make encoding  from	decoding
	    and vice versa.

     -kmap input-source-file
	    load a source file in kmap format.

     -rkmap input-source-file
	    load a source file and reverse it - make  encoding	 from	decoding
	    and vice versa.

     -uni:l,u input-source-file
	    load a source file in Unicode Consortium format. This format has the
	    local  code  in  column l, and unicode in column u. The numbering of
	    columns start from 0.

     -runi:l,u input-source-file
	    load a source file in Unicode Consortium  format  and  reverses  it.
	    Make encoding from decoding and vice versa.

     -8     option can be used with the -uni or -runi options. It specifies that
	    the input is 8 bit and not 16 bit.

     -high  option can be used with the -uni or -runi options. It specifies that
	    the key should be or'ed with 0x8080.

     -low   option can be used with the -uni or -runi options. It specifies that
	    the key should be and'ed with 0x7f7f.

     -convert output-file-format
	    converts  the  map file to a format. It is useful only when combined
	    with -write option.   The  possible  formats  are  my  -binary,  mys
	    -source,  myc  -my-c-source, umap -umap-c-source, bumap -binary-umap
	    formats.  For maps where only a  single  8	or  16	bit  local  code
	    should  be	converted  into  16 bit unicode and vice versa, the umap
	    file formats are recommended.  The c-source files  are  provided  so
	    that you can inlucde a full map into the c program.

DIAGNOSTICS
     mytool  prints out an error message and exits with a non-zero status on er-
     ror.  If there is no error the exit status is zero.
