NAME

regconvert - Convert between different Regina file formats

SYNOPSIS

regconvert [ -x | -u | -b ] old-file [ new-file ]

DESCRIPTION

Between Regina versions 2.4 and 3.0, the data files changed from using an impenetrable and undocumented binary format to using (optionally compressed) XML.

This utility simply converts back and forth between these different file formats.

Argument old-file should be the file to read and convert; argument new-file should be the name of the new converted file to write. These two filenames may be the same, in which case the old file will be replaced with the new.

If argument new-file is missing, the new file will be written to standard output; this forces output to be uncompressed XML (see option -u).

Warning: When writing an old-style binary file, some information might be lost. Specifically, only information that is understood by the Regina~2.4 calculation engine will be written.

OPTIONS

-x (default)
Convert to compressed XML.
-u
Convert to plain (uncompressed) XML.
-b
Convert to the old-style binary format.
