35: [ ! 36: .I option ... ! 37: ] [ ! 38: .I file ... ! 39: ] ! 40: .SH DESCRIPTION ! 41: These programs convert files of various formats into ! 42: PostScript. ! 43: The input formats are ! 44: .nr xx \w'\fL-p\ \fImode\ 'u ! 45: .TP \n(xxu ! 46: .I dpost ! 47: .IR troff (1) ! 48: output ! 49: .TP ! 50: .I postdaisy ! 51: Diablo 1640 daisy-wheel ! 52: .TP ! 53: .I postdmd ! 54: .IR bitfile (9.5) ! 55: files, as produced by ! 56: .IR blitblt (9.1) ! 57: .TP ! 58: .I postprint ! 59: .SM ! 60: ASCII ! 61: text ! 62: .TP ! 63: .I posttek ! 64: Tektronix 4014 graphics ! 65: .PP ! 66: Except as noted, ! 67: the options are common to all the programs: ! 68: .TP \n(xxu ! 69: .BI \-c num ! 70: Print ! 71: .I num ! 72: copies of each page. ! 73: By default only one copy is printed. ! 74: .TP ! 75: .BI \-m num ! 76: Magnify each logical page by the factor ! 77: .I num. ! 78: Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin, ! 79: located near the upper left corner of ! 80: the page. ! 81: The default magnification is 1.0. ! 82: .TP ! 83: .BI \-n num ! 84: Print ! 85: .I num ! 86: logical pages on each piece of paper. ! 87: The default is 1. ! 88: .TP ! 89: .BI \-o list ! 90: Print only pages specified in ! 91: the comma-separated ! 92: .I list ! 93: of numbers and ranges. ! 94: A range ! 95: .IB N - M ! 96: means pages ! 97: .I N ! 98: through ! 99: .IR M ; ! 100: an initial ! 101: .BI - N ! 102: means ! 103: from the beginning to page ! 104: .IR N ; ! 105: and a final ! 106: .IB N - ! 107: means ! 108: from ! 109: .I N ! 110: to the end. ! 111: Print only pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated ! 112: .IR list . ! 113: The list contains single numbers ! 114: .I N ! 115: and ranges ! 116: .IB N1 \- N2. ! 117: A missing ! 118: .I N1 ! 119: means the lowest numbered page, a missing ! 120: .I N2 ! 121: means the highest. ! 122: .TP ! 123: .BI \-p mode ! 124: Print ! 125: in ! 126: .I mode ! 127: .B p ! 128: (portrait) ! 129: or ! 130: .B l ! 131: (landscape). ! 132: The default is ! 133: .BR p . ! 134: .TP ! 135: .BI \-x num ! 136: Translate the origin ! 137: .I num ! 138: inches along the positive x axis. ! 139: By default, ! 140: the origin is ! 141: fixed near the ! 142: upper left corner of the page, with positive ! 143: x to the right and positive y down the page. ! 144: Positive ! 145: .I num ! 146: moves everything right. ! 147: The default offset is 0 inches. ! 148: .TP ! 149: .BI \-y num ! 150: Translate the origin ! 151: .I num ! 152: inches along the positive y axis. ! 153: Positive ! 154: .I num ! 155: moves text down the page. ! 156: The default offset is 0. ! 157: .TP ! 158: .BI \-A file ! 159: Append a simple accounting record to ! 160: .I file ! 161: after all input ! 162: .I files ! 163: have been successfully translated. ! 164: By default no accounting data is produced. ! 165: .TP ! 166: .BI \-L file ! 167: Use ! 168: .I file ! 169: as the PostScript prologue. ! 170: .TP ! 171: .BI \-f name ! 172: Print ! 173: .I files ! 174: using font ! 175: .I name. ! 176: Any PostScript font can be used, ! 177: but constant width fonts yield the best results. ! 178: The default font is Courier. ! 179: .RI ( postdaisy, ! 180: .IR postprint, ! 181: and ! 182: .IR posttek ! 183: only) ! 184: .TP ! 185: .BI \-f ! 186: Flip the sense of the bits in ! 187: .I files ! 188: before printing the bitmaps. ! 189: .RI ( postdmd ! 190: only) ! 191: .PP ! 192: In addition, three options allow the insertion of arbitrary PostScript ! 193: at controlled points in the translation process: ! 194: .TP \n(xxu ! 195: .BI \-C file ! 196: Copy ! 197: .I file ! 198: to the output file. ! 199: .I File ! 200: follows the prologue but ! 201: precedes any job initialization commands. ! 202: .I File ! 203: becomes part of the job's global environment ! 204: and must contain legitimate PostScript commands. ! 205: .TP ! 206: .BI \-P string ! 207: Like ! 208: .BR -C , ! 209: using a ! 210: .I string ! 211: instead of the contents of a file. ! 212: .TP ! 213: .BI \-R action ! 214: Requests special ! 215: .I action ! 216: (e.g. manualfeed) on a per page or global basis. ! 217: The ! 218: .I action ! 219: string has the general form ! 220: .IB request : page : file, ! 221: from which ! 222: .BI : page : file ! 223: or ! 224: .B : file ! 225: can be omitted. ! 226: An omitted or 0 page number ! 227: applies to all pages. ! 228: If file is omitted the request ! 229: lookup is done in ! 230: .FR /usr/lib/postscript/ps.requests . ! 231: The collection of recognized requests can be modified or extended ! 232: by changing this file. ! 233: Multiple occurrences of the ! 234: .B \-R ! 235: option behave as expected. !

253: Exit status 2 ! 254: usually means a syntax error in some input file. ! 255: .SH BUGS ! 256: Output files ! 257: will often violate Adobe's ! 258: file structuring conventions. ! 259: Pipe the output of ! 260: .I dpost ! 261: through ! 262: .I postreverse ! 263: to produce a minimally conforming PostScript file. ! 264: .PP ! 265: Although ! 266: .I dpost ! 267: can handle files formatted for any ! 268: .IR troff ! 269: device, emulation is expensive and ! 270: can easily double the print time and the size of the output file. ! 271: .PP ! 272: No attempt has been made to implement the character sets ! 273: or fonts available on all devices supported by ! 274: .I troff. ! 275: Missing characters are replaced by white space; ! 276: unrecognized fonts are replaced by one of the Times fonts. ! 277: .PP ! 278: .I Dpost ! 279: requires an ! 280: .B x res ! 281: command before the first ! 282: .B x init ! 283: and any file data.
