makeshift (Super user only)
makeshift -[v|i|a|p|r|f <shift-file>] file1 file2 ...
Manages the case-shifting dictionary that iNEWS uses to determine how to convert
lowercase characters to their uppercase counterparts, and vice-versa.
Use the makeshift command in maintenance mode when you install iNEWS to implement
the case-shifting dictionary appropriate for the national language used at your site.
makeshift Command Options
v Verbose. To diagnose the case-shifting dictionary for potential errors,
displaying messages for each line in the file. Checks that the file is readable
and contains shift tables.
i Install. To install the shift table into files you specify in the filename list.
a Ask. To confirm installation of each file as you are installing the shift tables.
Forces installation.
p Print. To print shift tables contained in each file you specify in the filename
list, with formatting similar to that in the default case-shifting dictionary. This
option does not build or install the shift tables.
f File. Specify with a <shift-file> filename, to use a file other than the default
file for the case-shifting dictionary. The default file is (/site/dict/shift).
r Recursive. (For directories.)
<shift-file> When you specify the -f option, enter the case-shifting dictionary name you
want to use instead of the /site/dict/shift file.
<file1> <file2> ... When you specify the -i or -p option, enter one or more file names to install
or print. If you specify a directory path instead of a file name, the makeshift
program processes each file in the directory, then returns to the original
directory.
[path] When processing files in a directory, the makeshift program ignores
additional directory pathnames it encounters, rather than recursively scanning
child directories. To have makeshift scan all files in a directory, specify the
directory path in the filename list.
