|
|
The command
|
|
.B see
|
|
displays the contents of
|
|
.IR tableorlist .
|
|
Unlike the COHERENT command
|
|
.BR cat ,
|
|
.B see
|
|
represents all nonprinting characters by converting
|
|
them to the form
|
|
\fB^\fIsome-printing-character\fR.
|
|
It is essentially the same as the Berkeley UNIX commands
|
|
.B see
|
|
or
|
|
.BR "cat -v" .
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B see
|
|
is very useful for seeing if you have placed tabs into your tables or lists.
|
|
Tabs print out as
|
|
.B ^I
|
|
because they are also
|
|
obtained by typing \fB<ctrl-I>\fR.
|
|
.B see
|
|
is also helpful for finding nonprinting characters.
|
|
.SH Example
|
|
To see the if the tabs are placed correctly in table
|
|
.BR badtable ,
|
|
type:
|
|
.DM
|
|
see < badtable
|
|
.DE

.SH Notes
|
|
.B see
|
|
assumes ASCII characters with a value between 0 and 127.
|
|
.B see
|
|
adds 128 to negative characters and to characters with values greater
|
|
than 127.
|
|
It then adds the value of ASCII `A' to characters with a value less
|
|
than that of a blank character (ASCII 32)
|
|
so they map to the upper-case characters.
|
|
.PP
|
|
For example, NUL
|
|
is printed as \fB^@\fR, a tab character as \fB^I\fR, and a form-feed character
|
|
as \fB^L\fR.
