# NAME

`fgen` — IEEE 1275 Open Firmware FCode Tokenizer

# SYNOPSIS

# DESCRIPTION

Reads Forth source and generates tokenized FCode object file.

The options are as follows:

# BUGS

String escape sequences are not recognized so things such as

`" foo "(01 02) "n "`

will result in the string

“foo "(01 02) "n”.

Hexadecimal numbers with dots in them such as `100.0000` are not parsed.

Permissions on the output file are often incorrect.

Output to the standard output device can cause problems.
