.ig @(#)snarf.l @(#)Copyright (C) 1985 by The Institute of Algebraic Meditation .. .TH SNARF 8 .SH NAME snarf,barf \- read and write raw image files .SH SYNOPSIS snarf [-nn[a|b|c]] [file] .br barf [-nn[a|b|c]] [file] .SH DESCRIPTION These programs read and write graphics ram data. The option .I nn gives the number of the image in the file (default is 1). The letters .I a-c indicate pages of graphics ram, so that .I a is the first 400 lines, .I b is the second 400 lines, and .I c is the first 800 lines (default is .I a). If the double page .I c is specified, then the image numbers .I nn usually would be given as 1, 3, 5, and so on. .LP Image files take a lot of disk space. Therefore a particularly suitable choice for the .I file argument is the block floppy device .I /dev/flop. Up to 6 single page images (numbered 1 to 6, 128kB each) can be stored on a diskette. If .I file is not given, standard input/output is assumed. Thus .IR barf ing with no arguments and no IO re-direction has distinctly unpleasant effects. .SH EXAMPLES .nf snarf /dev/null ; clear the first page of ram snarf -3 /dev/flop ; get 3rd image from the diskette barf -5b imagfile ; put 2nd ram page in a file .fi .LP The second example may well create a hole in the file, occupying no physical space.
