          |      'Rdatt'  is  part  of  the  toy relational data base system,
          |      'rdb'.  It lists the attributes of a relation, specified  as
          |      standard input, on standard output.  The input relation must
          |      be a file containing a relation that was created by 'rdmake'
          |      or another 'rdb' program; a relation cannot be read from the
          |      terminal.

          |      If  no options are specified then the type, length, and name
          |      of each attribute are listed on one line for each attribute.
          |      If any of the options 't', 'l', or 'n' (type, length,  name)
          |      are  specified,  then only the characteristics corresponding
          |      to the requested option will be listed.
