## SYNOPSIS

**gepp** **\[-D***name***...\] \[***input\_file***\| -\] \[***output\_file***\| -\]**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **gepp**, command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML format; see below.

**gepp** is a simple filter program which has been developed in Eiffel using gelex and geyacc. It takes a text file as input, interprets the processing instructions contained in that file, and returns the resulting file as output.

## OPTIONS

The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (\`-').
