$ PEEK/FORMAT in_file out_file PEEK> FORMAT in_file out_file
The PEEK/FORMAT command may be used to convert the format of log
files so that they may be more easily displayed or printed.
The Peek/Spy FORMAT subcommand converts a log file containing
terminal-control sequences (which might otherwise be difficult
to display, print or analyze) into distinct pages of plain-text
output, It also separates out redundant output (e.g., when a
later output segment overlays an earlier output segment).
Example:
$ PEEK /USER=SMITH /LOG=SMITH.LOG ! Make Peek log file.
$! Watch SMITH for a while, then exit from PEEK.
$ PEEK /FORMAT SMITH.LOG SMITH.FMT ! Format log file.
The output file (SMITH.FMT) will contain screens which are in
a plain-text sequential format. This is useful for typing,
printing, or searching.
Each output screen is a series of 24 lines (by default, or as
specified by /PAGE=n). The initial output-screen width can be
specified with /WIDTH=n (the default is 80 columns).
The actions of, and some qualfiers for, the FORMAT subcommand
differ for AXP and VAX. See the PEEK Commands FORMAT Subtopics:
AXP-Only and VAX-Only.
