Welcome to UNIX.COM

.seq

File extensions DO NOT have meaning necessarily to a UNIX OS. This is a Windows thing primarily. Some windows-like Linux desktops can be set up to associate certain applications with a file extension. .mp3, for example, may be associated with whatever media application you have.

Programmers often attach meaningful extensions so that someone seeing the file knows what is in it: foo.dat script.sh script1.ksh. Those extensions do not make or break the function of the file like they do in Windows. In Windows if you rename a file like foo.xlsx - an Excel file - to foo.junk then the Windows OS will not open the file using Excel automatically. You get warning messages when you rename files on Windows because of this very issue. Not on UNIX.

-q

Is a command line parameter, an option. You have to read the script to understand what effect -q has on the logic of the shell script. Nobody here can tell you what it does, anything we said would be a pure guess - if we got it right it would be an accident.

OPTIONS
rlplot does not have any command line options but the following options are available for exprlp - use stdin/stdout as input or output file; requires that file format is set by -e | -s | -w option -h help -d delete input file after read -e output Encapsulated PostScript, *.eps -s output Scalable Vector Graphics, *.svg -S like -s, start output with "Content-Type: image/svg+xml" -v print RLPlot version -w output Windows Meta File, *.wmf -q quiet mode: suppress output to the console EXAMPLES
