CLIT(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   CLIT(1)

NAME

       clit - program to manipulate Microsoft Reader .LIT files

SYNOPSIS

       1.  clit [options] litfile.lit subdir/
       2.  clit [options] oldfile.lit newfile.lit
       3.  clit [options] oldfile.lit newfile.lit inscription

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the clit command.

       ConvLIT is a program to convert Microsoft Reader format eBooks [LIT] into an open format.  clit supports three modes of operation:

       1.     Explosion: expanding a LIT file into an OEBPS compliant package, that is the original XML / HTML source.

       2.     Downconverting: converts to DRM1 format, also known as sealing the LIT file.

       3.     Inscribing: similar to #2, this adds a label, or inscription, to the ebook to mark that it belongs to you.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.	For a complete description, run the program without any arguments.

       -d     Disable creating multiple subdirectories.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -k   /path/to/keys.txt
	      The  DRM5  key file is assumed to be called keys.txt and located in the current directory.  If not, use this option to instruct Con-
	      vLIT where to find the key file.
