ptx: Generate a permuted index with SYSV-style behaviors.

$ ptx --traditional ${filename}

try on your machine

The ptx command is used to generate a permuted index of the content in a given file. It is a tool commonly used in Unix-like operating systems.

The --traditional option is used to specify that the output of the ptx command should adhere to the traditional style rather than the default GNU style. The traditional style typically presents output in a more compact format.

${filename} is a placeholder for the actual file name that you want to process with the ptx command. It should be replaced with the name of the file you want to index.

By executing the command ptx --traditional ${filename}, the ptx command will read the contents of the specified file, generate a permuted index according to the traditional style, and print the output to the terminal.
