| 6 .SH SYNTAX | |
| 7 btoa [options] [file] | |
| 8 | |
| 9 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 10 Read numbers of the given type from the input stream until eof. | |
| 11 Print each number on the stdout (one number per line) to the given precision. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 .SH OPTIONS | |
| 14 | |
| 15 1. type | |
| 16 | |
| 17 The input data type, which may be one of the list: char, short, int, float, | |
| 18 double, ascii. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 Silent options for short, int and float are retained for compatibility | |
| 21 with earlier versions. If used, these override the type option. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 2. precision | |
| 24 | |
| 25 The number of decimal places for ascii output. Setting precision=0 gives | |
| 26 (truncated) integer output. | |
| 27 | |
| 28 .SH BUGS | |
| 29 | |
| 30 When converting binary doubles or floats to ascii, and then back to binary, | |
| 31 there will be some difference between the binary files because the ascii | |
| 32 output is printed with limited precision. | |
