NAME

lifutils - Program to invoke a LIF Utility

SYNOPSIS

lifutils PROGNAME [PARAMETERS...]

lifutils -v

lifutils -?

DESCRIPTION

Starting with version 2.0 all LIFUTILS utility programs (with the exception of lifimage and lifdump which are only available on Linux) were integrated into a single executable named lifutils because of technical reasons. A LIFUTILS utility is now invoced by calling lifutils and specifying its name as the first parameter PROGNAME followed by all other PARAMETERS that are required by the utility. The parameter PROGNAME is case insensitive which is important under Windows. The help text of the program lifutils shows which utilities were integrated.

To maintain compatibility whith LIFUTILS version 1.x there are shell scripts for Linux (bash), macOS (zsh) and Windows (cmd) to invoke the integrated utilitie without calling lifutils.

Thus lifget can either be invoked with

lifutils lifget

or

lifget

Important note: Because of technical limitations of Windows batch scripting it is not possible to use the LIFUTILS scripts in .bat or .cmd files.
