.Sh NAME
.Nm strfile ,
.Nm unstr
.Nd "create a random access file for storing strings"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm strfile
.Op Fl iorsx
.Op Fl c Ar char
.Ar source_file
.Op Ar output_file
.Nm unstr
.Ar source_file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
reads a file containing groups of lines separated by a line containing
a single percent
.Ql \&%
sign and creates a data file which contains
a header structure and a table of file offsets for each group of lines.
This allows random access of the strings.
.Pp
The output file, if not specified on the command line, is named
.Ar source_file Ns Sy .out .
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width "-c char"
.It Fl c Ar char
Change the delimiting character from the percent sign to
.Ar char .
.It Fl i
Ignore case when ordering the strings.
.It Fl o
Order the strings in alphabetical order.
The offset table will be sorted in the alphabetical order of the
groups of lines referenced.
Any initial non-alphanumeric characters are ignored.
This option causes the
.Dv STR_ORDERED
bit in the header
.Ar str_flags
field to be set.
.It Fl r
Randomize access to the strings.
Entries in the offset table will be randomly ordered.
This option causes the
.Dv STR_RANDOM
bit in the header
.Ar str_flags
field to be set.
.It Fl s
Run silently; don't give a summary message when finished.
.It Fl x
Note that each alphabetic character in the groups of lines is rotated
13 positions in a simple caesar cypher.
This option causes the
.Dv STR_ROTATED
bit in the header
.Ar str_flags
field to be set.
.El
.Pp
The format of the header is:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
#define VERSION 2
u_int32_t str_version; /* version number */
u_int32_t str_numstr; /* # of strings in the file */
u_int32_t str_longlen; /* length of longest string */
u_int32_t str_shortlen; /* length of shortest string */
#define STR_RANDOM 0x1 /* randomized pointers */
#define STR_ORDERED 0x2 /* ordered pointers */
#define STR_ROTATED 0x4 /* rot-13'd text */
u_int32_t str_flags; /* bit field for flags */
u_int8_t str_delim; /* delimiting character */
u_int8_t str_pad[3]; /* padding */
.Ed
.Pp
All fields are written in network byte order.
Each field is also written independently so as to avoid structure padding
problems on some architectures.
.Pp
The purpose of
.Nm unstr
is to undo the work of
.Nm strfile .
It prints out the strings contained in the file
.Ar source_file
in the order that they are listed in
the header file
.Ar source_file Ns Pa .dat
to standard output.
It is possible to create sorted versions of input files by using
.Fl o
when
.Nm strfile
is run and then using
.Nm unstr
to dump them out in the table order.
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width strfile.out -compact
.It Pa strfile.out
default output file.
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr byteorder 3 ,
.Xr fortune 6
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm strfile
utility first appeared in
.Bx 4.4 .
