BCD(6)                       BSD Reference Manual                       BCD(6)




     bcd [string ...]
     ppt [-d [-b] | string ...]
     morse [-d | -s] [string ...]


     The bcd, ppt, and morse commands read the given input and reformat it in
     the form of punched cards, paper tape, or morse code, respectively. Ac-
     ceptable input are command line arguments or the standard input.

     Available options for ppt:

     -d [-b]
             The -d option for ppt decodes paper tape on the standard input
             back to ASCII. Unprintable characters are visually encoded with
             vis(3) unless the -b flag (binary) is also specified. A lowercase
             'x' is printed for undecipherable input lines.

     Available options for morse:

     -d      The -d option for morse decodes dot-dash morse
             (as generated by using the -s option) back into text. A lowercase
             'x' is printed for undecipherable input; otherwise, text is re-
             turned uppercase. If the morse to be translated is given on the
             command line, it should be preceded by '--' to keep it from being
             mistaken for options.
