# NAME

`morse` — reformat input as morse code

# SYNOPSIS

`morse` | [`-d` | `-s`] [string ...]

# DESCRIPTION

The `morse` command reads the given input and reformats it in the form of morse code. Acceptable input are command line arguments or the standard input.

The options are as follows:

`-d`
  Decode dot-dash morse (as generated by the `-s` option) back into text. A lowercase ‘x’ is printed for undecipherable input; otherwise, text is returned uppercase. Many procedural signs can be decoded (though not encoded). If the morse to be translated is given on the command line, it should be preceded by ‘--’ to keep it from being mistaken for options.
`-s`
  Produce dots and dashes rather than words.
