==== Description: ====
A library and utilities for parsing AFP (Advanced Function Presentation), a
format used for high-volume printing.

The name comes as a parallel to Unix tools like grep, cut, awk... which parse
a line, and then apply some user-defined actions on that line. In AFP, the
record is not a line, but a "Structured Field". With afppowertools, the user
has to register pairs of callbacks (condition + action), which will be called
after processing each Structured Field. Some callbacks are already provided in
the library, together with scripts that use them.

The library relies on a YAML translation of the AFP specification.
The first implementation provided is in Perl.


==== Other Software Required: ====
Perl
Perl's YAML module.


==== Other Comments: ====
There's no copyright licence in the "grammar" files, as they are merely YAML
translations of the AFP specifications, which can be found here:
