# Line 54 | Line 56 | A special form of the
56   option may be followed immediately by a 'd' or an 'f' and an optional
57   count, which defaults to 1, indicating the number of double or float
58   binary values to read per record on the input file.
59 + If the input is byte-swapped, the
60 + .I \-iD
61 + or
62 + .I \-iF
63 + options may be substituted.

74   options do not require a count, as this will be determined by the
75   number of output channels in the given expressions.
76 + If byte-swapped output is desired, the

80 + options may be substituted.
81   .PP
82 + The
83 + .I \-p
84 + option specifies "passive mode," where characters that do not
85 + match the input format are passed unaltered to the output.
86 + This option has no effect unless
87 + .I \-i
88 + is also specified, and does not make much sense unless
89 + .I \-o
90 + is also given.
91 + With both input and output formats, the passive mode can
92 + effectively substitute information in the middle of a file
93 + or stream without affecting the rest of the data.

95   The variable and function definitions in each

97   file are read and compiled.

234   This provides a convenient method for avoiding inappropriate calculations.
235   The following library of pre-defined functions and variables is provided:
236   .TP 10n
237 + .BR "in(n)"
238 + Return the value for input column
239 + .I n,
240 + or the number of columns available in this record if
241 + .I n
242 + is 0.
243 + This is an alternate way to get a column value instead of using
244 + the $N notation, and is more flexible since it is programmable.
245 + This function is disabled if an input format is used.
246 + .TP
247   .BR "if(cond, then, else)"
