Test -eightbit utility

Test whether a file contains eight bit material.

Syntax
imsimta test -eightbit filename

The name of the file to inspect for eight bit material.

Description
Check whether or not a file contains eight bit material.

The output of this utility will say either: File contains one or more 8-bit chars or File contains no 8-bit chars In  operation (the default), the  output will also show which line(s) contained eight bit material, with  line numbers (unless   has been specified).

,  (default)
When  is specified, the utility reads the  entire file into memory and then scans the in-memory copy of the file. operation may be faster, but does not allow for outputting which line(s) contained eight bit material. may not be specified if    is specified.

,  (default)
Specifying  disables outputting which specific  lines contained eight bit material. (meaning that such lines are output) is the default. may not be explicitly specified if   is specified;    always causes summary-like output.

(default),
(the default) means that when outputting lines containing eight bit material (which is done in   operation), to prefix those lines with line  numbers. turns off the line numbering.

The default is.

Examples
File contains no 8-bit chars 1 Des erreurs de traitement se sont produites lors de la distribution?: 4 Le traitement de la distribution s&#x27;est poursuivi malgr? ces erreurs. File contains one or more 8-bit chars The above two commands show example output for a file containing no eight bit characters, compared to a file that does contain eight bit  characters. (Note that unless you have gone to special work on a UNIX system to properly display eight bit characters, any eight bit character is likely to appear as a question mark, as shown in this example.)
