# outocp(1)

debug an OCP file

## NAME

outocp - debug an OCP file

## SYNOPSIS

**outocp** *OCPFILE*\[***.ocp***\]

## DESCRIPTION

**outocp** is used for debugging Omega Compiled Translation Process (OCP) files.  It generates some statistics about the OCP file, and then runs through the states that the file defines.

Omega Translation Processes are rules used to translate one character set to another and to choose between characters with one or more context-sensitive variants.  OTPs could also be used to change the case or hyphenation of text.
