NAME
     ooef - OOC error filter

SYNOPSIS
     oo2c --error-style char-pos ...  | ooef [options]
     ooef [options] <file-name> <pos>

DESCRIPTION
     The filter program ooef can be used to transform error messages, as emitted
     by  oo2c,	into a more convenient format.	If no module name is given, ooef
     reads the output of oo2c from stdin, and writes a modified version to  std-
     out.  Error messages are rewritten, and the rest of the input is echoed.

     If  a file name and a character position are passed as arguments, appropri-
     ate output is generated to designate the given  position  in  the	module's
     source text.

     NOTE:  This  tool	has  not  been updated to work with oo2c's default error
     style.  It only parses the old v1 style error format, which can be selected
     with --error-style char-pos.

OPTIONS
     --context, -c
	    Write an extract of the source text and insert additional  lines  to
	    point  to  the  error position.  This is the default setting.  Lines
	    are numbered starting at 1.

     --line, -l
	    Rewrite error message to file:line:error.  This will  only	give  an
	    approximation  of  the exact error position.  The first line has the
	    index 1.

     --linecol, -L
	    Rewrite error message to file:line,column:error.  The first line has
	    the number 1, likewise the first column.

     --config <file>
	    Use given file as configuration file.

     --help, -h
	    Write short usage summary and exit.

ENVIRONMENT
     OO2CRC holds the name of the configuration file.  OOC_REPS  is  a	list  of
     repository paths, separated by colons (:).  Empty paths are ignored.
