RLEADDCOM(1) 1 (2/2/87) RLEADDCOM(1)
NAME
rleaddcom - add picture comments to an RLE file.
SYNOPSIS
rleaddcom [ -d ] [ -i ] [ -o outfile ] infile comments
DESCRIPTION
The rleaddcom program will add one or more comments to an
RLE(5) file. If infile is "-", it will read from the
standard input. The modified RLE(5) file is written to the
standard output if the -o outfile option is not given. All
remaining arguments on the command line are taken as
comments. Comments are nominally of the form name=value or
name. Any comment already in the file with the same name
will be replaced.
OPTIONS
-d Will cause matching comments to be deleted, no comments
will be added in this case.
-i "In place." The input file will be rewritten with the
added comments. This argument requires write
permission to the directory containing infile, but does
not require write permission for infile. Of the
special file name cases described in urt(1), only
compressed files may be updated in place. (It doesn't
make sense to update the output of a pipe "in place",
does it?)
If -o outfile is specified together with -i, then
outfile will not be modified until rleaddcom has
finished (this is similar to the way that into(1)
works).
