<H1> Programs for Low Density Parity Check Codes </H1>
Programs are available for creating LDPC codes, encoding messages,
simulating transmission through a channel, and decoding the received
message. There are links here to the general documentation on each of
these operations, and to the detailed documentation on the relevant
programs.
<P>The programs names below are followed by the form of arguments they
take; a similar usage message is displayed when a program is run with
no arguments. In these descriptions, things to be entered literally
are in roman font, descriptions of something to be supplied are in
italic. Arguments in square brackets are optional. A vertical bar
separates alternatives. Dots represent indefinite repetition.
<P>Many of the arguments are file names, which can be a dash ("-") in
order to specify that standard input or standard output is to be used.
(However, you can't use standard input or output for more than one thing.)
<P>Click on a main title below for general information on that aspect
of the software, or on the name of a program for detailed information.
