COOKIETOOL(6)							   Games Manual 						     COOKIETOOL(6)

NAME

       cookietool - program to operate cookie (fortune) database

SYNOPSIS

       cookietool [options] <database>

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the cookietool command.

       This  manual  page  was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it
       has some plaintext documentation, see below.

       cookietool is a program that should be used to sort, clear and maintain cookie database in standard fortune(6) format, i.e. list of cookies
       delimited  with	line  containing  a  single  percent ('%') char. cookietool can now understand another formats and convert cookie database
       between them.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the documentation in /usr/share/doc/cookietool directory

       [nothing]
	      Shows summary of options.

       -c     case sensitive comparisons.

       -d[0-3]
	      how fussy about word delimiters? (default: 2)

       -b     delete cookies that are 'abbreviations' of another, too.

       -p     passive, don't delete anything.

       -s[l|w|<sep>|s]
	      sort cookies; looking after last line only; looking after last word only; starting after the last <sep>, e.g. '-s--'; by size.

       -a     treat 'abbreviations' as doubles (i.e. delete them from the database, too).

       -f[0-3]
	      input file format - -f3: cookies are separated by '%%' lines; -f2: cookies are separated by '%' lines (DEFAULT); -f1: each line is a
	      cookie; -f0: each word is a cookie.

       -F[0-3]
	      force output in a different file format, see -f.

       -o     overwrite directly without temporary file. CAUTION NEEDED.
