web2c: pooltype invocation

 
 8.3 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.
