Normally, |
| 67 |
+ |
.I rcollate |
| 68 |
+ |
detects whether any transformation is actually taking place, and will |
| 69 |
+ |
reproduce the data verbatim if the input size and shape should be unaltered. |
| 70 |
+ |
The |
| 71 |
+ |
.I \-c |
| 72 |
+ |
opiton forces the operation to proceed, even if it appears to be a no-op, |
| 73 |
+ |
which can be useful to correct a misshapen input matrix or check that |
| 74 |
+ |
the data is the proper size and formatted correctly (in the case of ASCII input). |
| 75 |
+ |
.PP |
| 76 |
|
The input format is assumed to be ASCII, with three white-space separated words |
| 77 |
|
(typically numbers) in each record. |
| 78 |
|
A different input format may be specified with the |
| 101 |
|
would all be equivalent. |
| 102 |
|
Note that the lack of row separators in binary files means that |
| 103 |
|
.I rcollate |
| 104 |
< |
does not actually do anything for binary files unless the transpose |
| 105 |
< |
option is given, also. |

does not actually do anything for binary files unless the data is being |

.PP |

|
If an input header is present, it may contain the format, number of components |
| 108 |
|
and matrix dimensions. |
| 113 |
|
.I \-f |
| 114 |
|
options are not required, but will be checked against the header |
| 115 |
|
information if provided. |
| 116 |
+ |
An exception is made for |
| 117 |
+ |
.I \-fbN |
| 118 |
+ |
where N>1, when no checks are made against the header, |
| 119 |
+ |
and the given length is assumed |
| 120 |
+ |
to be the exact size (in bytes) of each data record. |

.PP |

|
The transpose option, |
| 123 |
|
.I \-t |
| 124 |
|
swaps rows and columns on the input. |
| 125 |
< |
For binary files, the user must specify at least one input or output |
| 126 |
< |
dimension to define the matrix size. |
| 125 |
> |
For binary files with no header information, the user must |
| 126 |
> |
specify at least one input or output dimension to define the matrix size. |
| 127 |
|
For ASCII files, |
| 128 |
|
.I rcollate |
| 129 |
|
will automatically determine the number of columns based on the |
| 130 |
|
position of the first EOL (end-of-line) character, and the number |
| 131 |
|
of rows based on the total count of records in the file. |
| 132 |
|
The user may override these determinations, allowing the matrix to |
| 133 |
< |
be resized as well as transposed. |
| 134 |
< |
If input and output dimensions are given, the number of input rows |
| 135 |
< |
must equal the number of output columns, |
| 133 |
> |
be resized or re-ordered as well as transposed. |
| 134 |
> |
If input and output dimensions are given and there is no block re-ordering, |
| 135 |
> |
the number of input rows must equal the number of output columns, |
| 136 |
|
and the number of input columns must equal the number of output rows. |
| 120 |
– |
For large transpose operations on Unix systems, it is most efficient |
| 121 |
– |
to specify the input file on the command line, rather than reading |
| 122 |
– |
from the standard input, since |
| 123 |
– |
.I rcollate |
| 124 |
– |
can map the file directly into virtual memory. |
| 137 |
|
If the |
| 138 |
|
.I \-o |
| 139 |
|
option is also given with multiple block levels, the transpose operation |
| 140 |
< |
will logically precede the reblocking operation, regardless of the order |
| 141 |
< |
they are given on the command line. |
| 140 |
> |
will logically precede the re-ordering operation, regardless of their |
| 141 |
> |
position on the command line. |

The |
| 170 |
|
.I rcollate |
| 171 |
|
command is rather inflexible when it comes to output field and record |
| 176 |
|
Output row separtors will always be an EOL, which may differ between systems. |
| 177 |
|
.PP |
| 178 |
|
If no options are given on the command line, or a binary file is specified |
| 179 |
< |
without a transpose, |
| 179 |
> |
without a transpose or re-ordering, |
| 180 |
|
.I rcollate |
| 181 |
|
issues a warning and simply copies its input to its standard output. |
