|
|
This manpage documents the message syntax used
|
|
by the tools
|
|
.Xr mflag 1 ,
|
|
.Xr mhdr 1 ,
|
|
.Xr mless 1 ,
|
|
.Xr mrepl 1 ,
|
|
.Xr mscan 1 ,
|
|
.Xr mseq 1 ,
|
|
.Xr mshow 1 ,
|
|
.Xr msort 1 ,
|
|
.Xr mthread 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In general, you can always pass a file name as a message,
|
|
if it contains a
|
|
.Sq Li \&/
|
|
character.
|
|
Use
|
|
.Sq Li \&./
|
|
to prefix messages in the current directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sequences have the format
|
|
.Sq Ar start Ns Li \&: Ns Ar stop ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar start
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar stop
|
|
are one-based indexes into the sequence.
|
|
Negative numbers count from the end.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar start
|
|
is the empty string,
|
|
.Li 1
|
|
will be used instead.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar stop
|
|
is the empty string,
|
|
.Li \&-1
|
|
will be used instead.
|
|
Thus,
|
|
.Sq Li \&:
|
|
represents the whole sequence.
|
|
If the sequence does not contain a
|
|
.Sq Li \&: ,
|
|
it is considered to be a single message, equivalent to the range
|
|
.Sq Ar start Ns Li \&: Ns Ar start
|
|
of size one.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are four special shortcuts:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 3n
|
|
.It Sq Li \&.
|
|
refers to the current message.
|
|
Additionally, the syntax
|
|
.Sq Li \&.+ Ns Ar N
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq Li \&.- Ns Ar N
|
|
can be used to refer to messages relative to the current message.
|
|
.It Sq Li \&+
|
|
refers to the next message (like
|
|
.Sq Li \&.+1 ) .
|
|
.It Sq Li \&-
|
|
refers to the previous message (like
|
|
.Sq Li \&.-1 ) .
|
|
.It Sq Li \&$
|
|
refers to the last message (like
|
|
.Sq Li -1 ) .
