dtifddif - convert DTIF formatted files to DDIF formatted files
dtifddif [-m message_log] [-O optionfile] [-o outputfile] [-p options_line]... [-d extension] [inputfile [outputfile [logfile]]]
Enables enhanced messaging and logs all messages to message_log or, if `-' is specified, to the standard error in place of the message_log. If you do not specify this option, only serious errors are reported. Specifies the name of the options file containing options for this converter.
The dtifddif command reads a DTIF (table) formatted file from inputfile and writes a DDIF formatted file to outputfile. Since this conversion crosses from the DTIF grammar domain to DDIF, the converter is also called a domain converter. To convert from file.dtif to file.ddif, type:
dtifddif file.dtif file.ddif
If you do not supply an input file, or if you supply a minus sign (-) as an argument, dtifddif reads the DDIF file from the standard input file. If you do not supply an output file, or if you supply a minus sign (-) as an argument, dtifddif writes the DDIF file to the standard output file.
If the DTIF input file is a newer version of the DTIF grammar than that understood by the converter, data represented by the new grammar elements is lost.
A document syntax error in the DTIF input file causes a fatal input processing error. The conversion stops and no further input processing occurs.
You can also invoke the
dtifddif
conversion with
the
cdoc(1)
command when you use that command and specify a source format
(-s) in the DTIF domain or a destination format (-d) in the DDIF domain.
When converting any table format to any document format, you can specify the following domain converter processing options using a format name of DTIF_TO_DDIF: Displays the column title as contained in the column attributes, centered at the top of the column. Displays the current date and time in the bottom left corner of the page. The value is formatted according to the document's specification for a default date and time.

Displays the document title or titles, as contained in the document header, centered at the top of the page, one string per line. Displays the current page number in the top right corner of the page.
