type -- display plain text file or AppleWorks (AWP) file
|
|
|
|
syntax: type <pathname> [-h] [-f] [-u] [-l] [-p] [-t tab_string]
|
|
|
|
ex: type this
|
|
type ?:txt -h
|
|
como that;type this -l
|
|
|
|
Types contents of a file (any type, not just TXT). Wildcards are
|
|
allowed. -h generates a headergiving the date/time the file was last
|
|
modified. -f disables filtering of control characters; normally they
|
|
are filtered out.
|
|
|
|
-u and -l force alphabetic characters to display as uppercase or
|
|
lowercase, respectively.
|
|
|
|
-p begins a new page after the file is printed (useful when
|
|
redirecting to printer)
|
|
|
|
-t lets you specify a string to print in place of each TAB
|
|
character (Ctrl-I). You may want to make an alias for 'type' with
|
|
a tab string.
|
|
|
|
Note: many file types do not contain plain ASCII text. This command
|
|
knows how to interpret AWP files, but simply displays all other
|
|
files byte-for-byte. If you pg a SYS file, for example, you
|
|
will get a lot of garbage and a (probably) few readable
|
|
messages.
