DEVICES
Cawf supports primitive output device configuration for font and type
face control. One font may be selected for the entire document by
directing cawf to issue a font selection control character string at the
beginning of the document, and control character strings may be selected
for switching between the bold, italic and Roman type faces.
The -c config, -ddevice and -ffont options direct the font and type face
selections.
The -ddevice option specifies the name of the device. Cawf has three
built-in devices - ANSI, NONE and NORMAL. When the ANSI device is
selected, cawf issues the ANSI shadow mode control codes, ``ESC [ 7 m'',
to represent the bold face; the ANSI underscore control codes, ``ESC [ 4
m'', to represent the italic face; and the ANSI control codes, ``ESC [ 0
m'', to represent the ROMAN face. No -ffont specification is permitted
with the ANSI device.
When the NONE device is selected, cawf uses no special output codes to
represent the type faces. No -ffont specification is permitted with the
ANSI device.

CAWF(1) Minix Programmer's Manual CAWF(1)
The NORMAL output device is the default. When it's selected, cawf
overprints each bold character two times, using three issuances of each
bold character, separated by backspace characters; it issues an
underscore and backspace before each italic character. No -ffont
specification is permitted with the ANSI device. The bsfilt(1) filter
may be used to further process the backspace codes output for a NORMAL
device.
All other devices named in the -ddevice option must be represented by a
stanza in the device configuration file. The device configuration file
is usually contained in device.cf in cawf's library directory (see the
FILES section for more information). An alternate device configuration
file path may be specified with the -cconfig option.
The DEVICE CONFIGURATION FILE section describes the organization of the
device configuration file. It is easy to add devices to the device.cf
supplied in the cawf distribution.
The -ffont option may be used with the -ddevice option, when the
appropriate stanza in the device configuration file contains an entry for
the named font. The DEVICE CONFIGURATION FILE section describes how
fonts are defined in device configuration file stanzas.
DEVICE CONFIGURATION FILE
The device configuration file defines the special character codes
necessary to direct output devices to select fonts and to produce bold,
italic and Roman type faces.
The configuration file is usually found in device.cf in cawf's library
directory (see the FILES section for more information). It is organized
into two main parts - comments and device stanzas. Comments are any
lines that begin with the pound sign (`#') character. They are
informational only and cawf ignores them. Cawf also ignores empty lines,
so they may be used as vertical white space.
Stanzas name devices and define their font and type face control strings.
A stanza begins with the name of the device, starting at the beginning of
a line and occupying the entire line. The body of the stanza, defining
fonts and type faces, is formed of lines beginning with white space (a
TAB or space characters) that directly follow the device name.
Individual lines of the stanza body contain a key character, followed by
a equal sign, followed by the font name (if a font key) and the output
device control codes. Cawf issues the font control codes once, at the
beginning of output, so only one font may be selected. The type face
control codes are issued at each change of type face.
The key characters are:
Purdue University November, 1992 6
CAWF(1) Minix Programmer's Manual CAWF(1)
b for bold
f for font definition
i for italic
r for Roman
The `b', `i' and `r' key codes are followed by an equal sign (`=') and
their control code definition. The `f' key code is followed by an equal
sign (`='), the font name, another equal sign and the font control code
definition.
Control code definitions may contain any printable ASCII characters.
Non-printable characters may be encoded in octal notation with the `\nnn'
form or in hexadecimal with the `\xnn' form. The special code, `\E' (or
`\e') represents the ESC control character (\033 or \x1b).
Here's a sample showing the definition for the HP LaserJet III. The
stanza name is ``lj3''. All its non-printable characters are ESCs; the
first is coded in octal form; the second with '\E'; the rest, in
hexadecimal form. TAB is used as the leading white space character for
the stanza body lines.

FILES
Cawf resource files are located in the cawf library directory -
C:\SYS\LIB\CAWF, the MS-DOS environment default; or /usr/lib/cawf, the
UNIX environment default. These defaults can be overridden by the
CAWFLIB environment variable, or changed in the cawflib.h header file.

DIAGNOSTICS
Unlike nroff, cawf complains whenever it sees unknown requests. All
diagnostics appear on the standard error file.
HISTORY
Vic Abell of Purdue University <abe@cc.purdue.edu> derived cawf from awf,
``the Amazingly Workable (text) Formatter,'' written by Henry Spencer of
the University of Toronto. The Toronto work was a supplement to the C
News project. The Purdue effort was aimed at producing a C language
version that would run on small systems, particularly MS-DOS ones. The
adaptation of the me macros was done by Chet Creider
<creider@csd.uwo.ca>. Chet also contributed ideas for device, font and
type face support.
The MS-DOS version of cawf has been compiled with version 2.5 of
Microsoft's Quick-C compiler. It runs under the Mortis Kern Systems
Toolkit KornShell, ksh(1), and COMMAND.COM.
BUGS
Nroff and troff mavens will have many complaints. Some may even
represent bugs and not deliberate omissions.
Watch out for scaling factors - especially on requests like \w.
The overprinting required to create bold and italicized characters is
tiresome on a slow printer. The bsfilt(1) post-filter from this
distribution may be used to alleviate that nuisance by managing the
backspacing codes from cawf's NORMAL device output.
The printing of bold and italic characters is sometimes better handled by
special printer codes. Use cawf's -c config, -ddevice and -ffont options
to produce special font and device output control codes.
Cawf has a small amount of built-in code for the man, me and ms macro
packages, but none for any others.
The stacking for the .so request is limited.
