Hi.

A Google search for openindiana source "newform" produced about 60K hits. From one of those I found the source for the code and man page. It compiled first time with gcc. Here's a sample run:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s1	Demonstrate basic reformatting of text file: newform.

# See: Google search for [openindiana source "newform"]

# Utility functions: print-as-echo, print-line-with-visual-space, debug.
# export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && $C newform ruler

FILE=${1-data1}

pl " Display usage:"
newform -Q

pl " Input data file $FILE, raw:"
cat $FILE

pl " Input data file $FILE, display invisibles:"
cat -A $FILE

pl " Results, raw (with column markers):"
ruler 78
newform -s -i -l -a -e $FILE

pl " Results, display invisibles:"
ruler 78
newform -s -i -l -a -e $FILE |
cat -A

exit 0

RPMSPEC(8)						      System Manager's Manual							RPMSPEC(8)

NAME

       rpmspec - RPM Spec Tool

SYNOPSIS

   QUERYING SPEC FILES:
       rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE ...

   select-options
	[--rpms]
	[--srpms]

   query-options
	[--qf,--queryformat QUERYFMT]
	[--target TARGET_PLATFORM]

   QUERY OPTIONS
       The general form of an rpm spec query command is

       rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]

       You may specify the format that the information should be printed in. To do this, you use the

	--qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT

       option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string.	See rpm(8) for details.

   SELECT OPTIONS
	--rpms Operate on the binary package header(s).
	--srpm Operate on the source package header(s).

       matches what's available.
