|
option may be followed immediately by a 'd' or an 'f' and an optional |
| 61 |
|
count, which defaults to 1, indicating the number of double or float |
| 62 |
|
binary values to read per record on the input file. |
| 63 |
+ |
If the input is byte-swapped, the |
| 64 |
+ |
.I \-iD |
| 65 |
+ |
or |
| 66 |
+ |
.I \-iF |
| 67 |
+ |
options may be substituted. |
| 68 |
|
If binary input is specified, no format string or file is needed. |
| 69 |
|
.PP |
| 70 |
|
A |
| 77 |
|
.I \-of |
| 78 |
|
options do not require a count, as this will be determined by the |
| 79 |
|
number of output channels in the given expressions. |
| 80 |
+ |
If byte-swapped output is desired, the |
| 81 |
+ |
.I \-oD |
| 82 |
+ |
or |
| 83 |
+ |
.I \-oF |
| 84 |
+ |
options may be substituted. |
| 85 |
|
.PP |
| 86 |
+ |
The |
| 87 |
+ |
.I \-p |
| 88 |
+ |
option specifies "passive mode," where characters that do not |
| 89 |
+ |
match the input format are passed unaltered to the output. |
| 90 |
+ |
This option has no effect unless |
| 91 |
+ |
.I \-i |
| 92 |
+ |
is also specified, and does not make much sense unless |
| 93 |
+ |
.I \-o |
| 94 |
+ |
is also given. |
| 95 |
+ |
With both input and output formats, the passive mode can |
| 96 |
+ |
effectively substitute information in the middle of a file |
| 97 |
+ |
or stream without affecting the rest of the data. |
| 98 |
+ |
.PP |
| 99 |
+ |
If a |
| 100 |
+ |
.I \-in |
| 101 |
+ |
option is given with a positive integer argument, |
| 102 |
+ |
.I rcalc |
| 103 |
+ |
will stop processing input once it has loaded this number of records. |
| 104 |
+ |
Similarly, if a |
| 105 |
+ |
.I \-on |
| 106 |
+ |
option is present, |
| 107 |
+ |
.I rcalc |
| 108 |
+ |
will stop after producing this many records, which may be a smaller |
| 109 |
+ |
number if the |
| 110 |
+ |
.I cond |
| 111 |
+ |
variable is used. |
| 112 |
+ |
If multiple input files are given, these counts are continuous over |
| 113 |
+ |
the input and do not reset on each file. |
| 114 |

Powers have the highest precedence; multiplication and |
| 228 |
|
division are evaluated before addition and subtraction. |
| 229 |
|
Expressions can be grouped with parentheses. |
| 255 |
|
This provides a convenient method for avoiding inappropriate calculations. |
| 256 |
|
The following library of pre-defined functions and variables is provided: |
| 257 |
|
.TP 10n |
| 258 |
+ |
.BR $N |
| 259 |
+ |
Return the value for input column |
| 260 |
+ |
.I N. |
| 261 |

If an input format is given, using a channel number generates an error. |
| 262 |
+ |
.TP |
| 263 |
|
.BR "in(n)" |
| 264 |
|
Return the value for input column |

|
inverse trigonometric functions. |
| 320 |

.TP |
