    NAME
           swparse -- Parse metadata files: INDEX, INFO, and psf.

    SYNOPSIS
           swparse {-o,--info|-i,--index|-p,--psf} [file]

    DESCRIPTION
           swparse  reads  POSIX.7.2  metadata  files. One file type,
           INDEX, INFO or PSF is specified in the first argument.  If
           a  file name to parse is not given in the second argument,
           swparse reads from stdin.

           swparse writes a de facto format to  stdout.   The  format
           indicates  the  keyword  type,  (O)bject, (A)ttribute, or,
           (E)xtended, and, containment level.   Newlines  in  multi-
           line  values are translated to '\n' and output on a single
           line.

    OPTIONS
           -o        Parse an INFO file.

           -p        Parse a PSF file.

           -i        Parse an INDEX file.

    CAVEATS
           A stand-alone parser by this name is not specified in IEEE
           Std 1387.2-1995 (POSIX.7.2).
