- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .I Yap
- is a program allowing the user to examine a continuous text one screenful at
- a time on a video display terminal.
- It does so by
- pausing after each screenful, waiting for the user to type a command.
- The commands are enumerated later.
- .IR Yap 's
- main feature is, that it can page both forwards and backwards,
- even when reading from standard input.
- .PP
- The command line options are:
- .TP
- .I -n
- An integer which is the size (in lines) of a page (the initial
- .IR page-size .
- .TP
- .B -c
- Normally,
- .I yap
- will display each page by beginning at the top of the screen and erasing
- each line just before it displays on it. If your terminal cannot erase a line,
- .I yap
- will clear the screen before it displays a page.
- .br
- This avoids scrolling the screen, making it easier to read while
- .I yap
- is writing.
- The
- .B -c
- option causes
- .I yap
- to scroll the screen instead of beginning at the top of the screen.
- This is also done if your terminal cannot either erase a line or clear the
- screen.
- .TP
- .B -u
- Normally,
- .I yap
- handles underlining such as produced by nroff in a manner appropriate
- to the particular terminal: if the terminal can perform underlining well
- (t.i., the escape sequences for underlining do not occupy space on the
- screen),
- .I yap
- will underline underlined information in the input. The
- .B -u
- option supresses this underlining.
- .TP
- .B -n
- Normally,
- .I yap
- also recognises escape sequences for stand-out mode or underlining mode
- in the input, and knows how much space these escape sequences will
- occupy on the screen, so that
- .I yap
- will not fold lines erroneously.
- The
- .B -n
- option supresses this pattern matching.
- .TP
- .B -q
- This option will cause
- .I yap
- to exit only on the "quit" command.
- .TP
- .BI + command
- fIcommandfP is taken to be an initial command to
- .IR yap .
- .PP
- .I Yap
- uses the
- .IR termcap (5)
- database to determine the terminal capabilities and the default
- .IR page-size .
- It examines the $TERM environment variable to identify the terminal type.
- If $TERM is not set, it defaults to
- .IR dumb .
- .I Yap
- Also examines the $TERMCAP environment variable to locate the
- .IR termcap (5)
- database.
- If $TERMCAP is not set, it defaults to
- .IR /etc/termcap .
- .PP
- .I Yap
- looks in the $YAP environment variable
- to pre-set flags.
- For instance, if you prefer the
- .B -c
- mode of operation, just set the $YAP environment variable
- to
- .BR -c .
- .PP
- The commands of
- .I yap
- can be bound to sequences of keystrokes.
- The environment variable $YAPKEYS may contain the bindings in the
- form of a list of colon-separated `name=sequence' pairs.
- The
- .I name
- is a short mnemonic for the command, the
- .I sequence
- is the sequence of keystrokes to be typed to invoke the command.
- This sequence may contain a ^X escape, which means control-X,
- and a \X escape, which means X. The latter can be used to get
- the characters `^', `\' and `:' in the sequence.
- There are two keymaps available, the default one and a user-defined one.
- You can switch between one and the other with the
- .I change keymap
- command.
- .PP
- The
- .I yap
- commands are described below.
- The mnemonics for the commands are given in parentheses. The default
- key sequences (if any) are given after the mnemonic.
- Every command takes an optional integer argument, which may be typed
- before the command. Some commands just ignore it. The integer argument
- is referred to as
- .IR i .
- Usually, if
- .I i
- is not given, it defaults to 1.

- to edit the expression.

- .I Yap
- will find your terminal very stupid and act like it,
- if it has no way of placing the
- cursor on the home position, or cannot either
- erase a line or
- insert one.
- .PP
- In lines longer than about 2000 characters, a linefeed is silently inserted.
- .PP
- The percentage, given in the prompt when
- .I yap
- reads from a file (and knows it), is not always very accurate.
