Cuts size of export files in test suite by a factor of four. Not a big deal for disk usage, as export files compress very well, and disk space is cheap anyway. Export files are simply easier to work with when they aren't full of redundant crap. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@pond.sub.org>

|
|
Import from \fIdump-file\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-m
|

|
|
machine-readable and human-readable format.
|

.TP
|
|
.B \-x
|
|
Export game state to standard output.
|
|
.SH "LIMITATIONS"
|
|
.B empdump
|
|
can't export player bmaps, power report, telegrams, announcements,
|
|
message of the day, no-login message and log files. Exported
|
|
floating-point values may be inexact. Importing an exported game
|
|
state may not result in identical data files; besides the loss of
|
|
floating-point precision just mentioned, coordinates are normalized,
|
|
and characters beyond a string's terminating zero in a character array
|
|
are lost.
