NAME
       bearoffdump - dump a position from the GNU Backgammon bearoff database

SYNOPSIS
       bearoffdump file	id

DESCRIPTION
       bearoffdump  takes  the path to a GNU Backgammon	bearoff	database and a
       position	number and dumps the bearoff information  for  that  position.
       It  can	be  called  on either the one-sided bearoff database, normally
       /usr/share/gnubg/gnubg_os0.bd; or the two-sided bearoff database,  nor-
       mally  /usr/share/gnubg/gnubg_ts0.bd.   The  output from	the former in-
       cludes the probabilities	of bearing off all checkers in varying numbers
       of moves.  The latter only gives	the probability	of  winning  and  dou-
       bling cube equity.

       The  id	is difficult to	derive if you don't know GNU Backgammon	inter-
       nals.  Each possible combinatorial position of checkers and  points  is
       assigned	a position number, id divided by that number is	the player po-
       sition, and id modulo that number is the	opponent position.  The	number
       of  points  and	checkers is set	when building the bearoff database and
       are shown by bearoffdump	when run with any id.
