web2c: pooltype invocation

 
 9.3 Pooltype: Display WEB pool files
 ====================================
 
 Pooltype shows the so-called "string number" of each string in a WEB
DONTPRINTYET  pool file (⇒WEB), as output by Tangle (*notetangle
DONTPRINTYET  pool file (⇒WEB), as output by Tangle (⇒tangle

 invocation), including the first 256 strings corresponding to the
 possible input characters.  Pooltype primarily serves as an example of
 WEB conventions to implementors of the TeX system.  Synopsis:
 
      pooltype [OPTION]... POOLFILE[.pool]
 
 No path searching is done for POOLFILE.  Output is to standard output.
 
    The only options are '--help' and '--version' (⇒Common
 options).
 
    As an example of the output, here is the (edited) output for
 'tex.pool':
      0: "^^@"
      1: "^^A"
      ...
      255: "^^ff"
      256: "pool size"
      ...
      1314: "Using character substitution: "
      (23617 characters in all.)
 
    In Metafont and MetaPost, the first 256 characters are actually
 represented as single bytes (i.e., themselves), not in the '^^'
 notation.  Consider Pooltype as showing the results after conversion for
 output.
