CDEF C-1

NAME

cdef - build a definition for a data file [Requires: C/Base Utilities Module]

SYNOPSIS

cdef [ textfile ] deffile

DESCRIPTION

Cdef reads lines from the file textfile (name of ASCII input file of the type output by the pdef -d or pdict -d commands) or the standard input if textfile is omitted and builds a new definition for deffile. If an old definition exists for deffile, it is replaced by the new definition. The definition file created can be used by filedef(C-1), makelf(C-1), convrtlf(C-1) or pdef(C-1). This program is intended to be used in porting data file definitions to different systems.
