     NAME
          barprt - Display an HP41 barcode file (diagnostic)

     SYNOPSIS
          barprt < barcode_file

     DESCRIPTION
          barprt is a filter which reads an HP41 barcode file from
          standard input. For each logical record in the barcode file,
          the following is printed to standard output :

          The number of bytes in that row of barcode

          The values of those bytes in hexadecimal

          The values of those bytes in decimal

          Standard output can, of course be redirected in the normal
          way if it is desired to pipe the output of barprt to another
          program or store it in a file.

          barprt is intended as a diagnostic program for debugging
          barcode creation and printing programs. It can be used to
          ensure that the output of a barcode creation program is as
          expected. A barcode printing program can be tested by using
          it to print a barcode file and then comparing the output of
          barprt applied to that file with the result of using the
          HP41 command WNDSCN to read the corresponding row of printed
          barcode.

     REFERENCES
          See barcode(5) for details of the barcode file format

     EXAMPLES
          If bar1 is an HP41 barcode file then the command

          barprt < bar1

          will display the contents of that file in human-readable
          form on the user's terminal
