cyr_sequence

Debug tool for seqset. Also useful for resolving sequences.

Synopsis

cyr_sequence [ -C altconfig ] [ -m maxval ] <command> sequence

The command is one of:

    * parsed
    * compress
    * members
    * ismember
    * create

The sequence is a list of sequences. Discrete numbers are separated with commas, ranges are separated by colons.

Description

cyr_sequence shows what happens when various operations are performed over a sequence.

Options

parsed *sequence*: Dumps a parsed view of the list structure, broken into contiguous sections.

compress *sequence*: Given a list, compress ranges with colons.

members *sequence*: Displays the full list of members within the sequence, in order, expanding out the ranges.

ismember *[num...]*: For each number in the list, check if it’s in the sequence.

create *[-s] [-o origlist] [items]*

Generate a new list from the items, prefix numbers with ~ to remove them from the list. If an original list is given, this is joined into this new list.

The -s flag generates a sparse list.

join *sequence1* *sequence2*: Join two sequences together and return the output in compressed format.

-C *altconfig*: Specify an alternate config file.

-m *maxval*: Limit the maximum value to accept.
