FORK                     USER COMMANDS                   FORK



NAME
      fork - fork output to multiple files, including console.

SYNOPSIS
      [command |] fork [/?][/C] [filename.ext *filename.ext ...]

DESCRIPTION
      fork reads in from stdin (pipe) and places the data into a
      buffer. When the buffer becomes full, fork will do a full
      write to all of the files presented on the command line.
      Also, unless specifically disabled, output will also go to
      the console.

OPTION
      /?   Present help screen.
      /C   Disable console output.

EXAMPLE
      The following example will take the output of type and place
      it into the files out1 out2 out3 and out4. The file out3 will
      be overwritten, and no output will reach the console.

      type fork.c|fork out1 out2 *out3 out4 /c

DIAGNOSTICS
      fork will complain about not being able to allocate memory,
      but will not notice files that do not exist or cannot be
      opened (will ignore them).

BUGS
      A bug to many users will appear in the fact that switches cannot
      be in the form of "-xxx". The character '-' is a valid filename
      character, so I decided not to exclude it.

COMPILATION
      The source is ANSI/ISO C, so any conforming compiler should be
      able to compile without errors. MAXPATH is MSDOS Mix PowerC
      dependent, but in case it is not defined, it is defined in the
      header, fork.h. This macro should be changed to the current
      compilers definition to better suit the platform (in other
      words, #define MAXPATH _MAXPATH if _MAXPATH is your compilers
      name for the maximum path allowed).
