forder - convert file data order SYNOPSIS
[file ...] DESCRIPTION
The text orientation (mode) of a file can be right-to-left (non-Latin) or left-to-right (Latin). This text orientation can affect the way data is arranged in the file. The data arrangements that result are called screen order and keyboard order. converts the order of charac- ters in the file from screen order to keyboard order or vice versa. reads the concatenation of input files (or standard input if none are given) and produces on standard output a converted version of its input. If appears as an input file name, reads standard input at that point (use to delimit the end of options in such instances). converts input files for all languages that are read from right-to-left. Unless the option is used, the command merely copies input files to standard output for languages that are read from left-to-right. Options recognizes the following options: Convert file data order for languages read from left-to-right. Identify the file as having been created in Latin mode. Identify the file as having been created in non-Latin mode. EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Keyboard order is assumed for values other than and Mode information in can be overridden from the command line. The environment variable determines the direction of a language (left-to-right or right-to-left). The environment variable determines whether a language has alternative numbers. The environment variable determines the language in which messages are displayed. International Code Set Support Single-byte character code sets are supported. EXAMPLES
The following command begins with file1, which exists in screen order, converts it to keyboard order, sorts the keyboard-ordered output, converts it back to screen order, and redirects the output to file2. Note that is given to inform that file1 was created in non-Latin mode. WARNINGS
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the environment variable accurately reflects the status of the file. If present, alternative numbers always have a left-to-right orientation. The command is HP proprietary, not portable to other vendors' systems, and will not be provided in future HP-UX releases. AUTHOR
