NAME

       chtyp - change GS/OS file type information

SYNOPSIS

       chtyp [ [ -t ftype ] [ -a atype ] ] | [ -l lang ] file...

DESCRIPTION

       Set GS/OS file type information for the specified files

       File  types  may  be specified either as a number (decimal, hexadecimal
       with a leading 0x, or octal with a leading 0) or by a three letter  ab‐
       breviation.  Abbreviations are from the official File Type Notes Index.

       Auxilary types may only be specified as a number (decimal, hexadecimal,
       or octal).

       If a file type is specified with no aux type, or vice versa,  only  the
       specified parameter is changed - the other is left as is.

       The  language  option sets the file type and aux type appropriate for a
       source file of the specified language.  See below for a list  of  valid
       languages.

OPTIONS

       The following options are available:

       -t ftype
              Set the file type of the indicated files to the specified ftype.
              The file type may be specified as a number  (in  decimal,  as  a
              hexadecimal number with a leading 0x, or as an octal number with
              a leading 0) or by one of the official  three  letter  abbrevia‐
              tions  listed in the File Type Notes Index.  Types set by abbre‐
              viation may not have their auxilary file types set  due  to  the
              large variety of assigned auxilary types for each file type.

       -a atype
              Set  the  auxilary file type of the indicated files to the atype
              specified.  The auxilary type may only be specified as a number.

       -l lang
              Set the file type and auxilary file type to  that  of  a  source
              file of the selected lang.  The -l flag may not be used with the
              -t or -a flags.

              Valid language types are: APWTXT, ASM, PASCAL, EXEC, CC, LINKER,
              DESKTOP, REZ, TMLPASCAL, DISASM, SDEASM, SDECMD, PS.
