Syntax

pikashu <inputfile> <outputfile>

or

pikashu <inputfile> <formats>

or

pikashu <inputfile> <prefix> <formats>

Description

This will read the <inputfile> and convert it to <outputfile>.

If the <outputfile> has a recognisable extension (e.g. .xyz or .cfg) then pikashu will convert it to the corresponding format.

Instead of specifying an output file name, one can also specify one or several <format> among those supported by pikashu. The program will then use the input file name and replace its extension with the one appropriate for each <format>.

If a <prefix> (i.e. a file name with no extension) and one or several <formats> are specified, then the program will use the prefix to produce all the output files according to the <formats>.

If you want to convert all the files in a directory, do NOT use a star (for instance pikashu * cfg to convert all files to CFG), because this will not be recognized. I recommend that you create a file list (for instance ls * >list.lst), and then run pikashu in File list mode.
