reed(1) Autoscrolling Pager reed(1) NAME breed - prepare files for reed SYNOPSIS breed [options] [filename] DESCRIPTION breed prepares files for viewing by reed. Although the most common use is viewing compressed files (.gz, .bz2, etc), it also supports many other file formats. It can only take one filename as a parameter, how- ever. breed has some advantages over other generic viewer programs (like lessfile or zmore) because it can tell Reed the "real" filename so bookmarks act correctly. OPTIONS Breed has the same options as Reed. In addition, if you have /usr/bin/fold installed, Breed can word wrap text automatically, using the -w parameter. USAGE breed supports all command line options reed does, although it only al- lows one filename. FILES .html, .htm, .shtml Uses Lynx. breed is also capable of using Lynx to download re- mote files, for example breed http://www.sacredchao.net/software/reed/ .bz2, .bz, .gz, .z Uses bunzip2, bunzip, and gunzip, respectively. Uncompresses the file and displays it. Note that the behaviour is different for .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 files. .tar, .tar.gz (.tgz), .tar.bz2 (.tb2), .tar.z Displays a listing of files in the archive. .arj, .zip (.jar), .lha, .lhz Display a listing of the files in the archive. Requires unarj, unzip, and lha respectively. .rpm, .deb Display information about the package. Requires rpm and dpkg. .pdf, .ps, .doc Display an approximation of the document. Requires pdftotext, ps2ascii, and catdoc, respectively. .pdb View a Palm DOC file. Requires doctotext, from the Pyrite Pub- lisher package. .gpg Decrypt a file and display the contents. Requires gpg.
