| -c num |
Print num copies of each page. By default only one copy is printed. |
| -e num |
Sets the text encoding level to num. The
recognized choices are 0, 1, and 2. The size of the output file and print time should decrease as num
increases. Level 2 encoding will typically be about 20 percent faster than level 0, which is the default and produces output essentially identical to previous versions of dpost. |
| -m num |
Magnify each logical page by the factor num. Pages are scaled uniformly about the origin, which is located near the upper left corner of each page. The default magnification is 1.0. |
| -n num |
Print num logical pages on each piece of paper, where num can be any positive integer. By default, num is set to 1. |
| -o list |
Print those pages for which numbers are given in the comma-separated list. The list contains single numbers N and ranges N1-N2. A missing N1 means the lowest numbered page, a missing N2 means the highest. The page range is an expression of
logical pages rather than physical sheets of paper. For example, if you are printing two logical pages to a sheet, and you specified a range of 4, then two sheets of paper would print, containing four page layouts. If you specified a page range of
3-4, when requesting two logical pages to a sheet; then only page 3 and page 4 layouts would print, and they would appear on one physical sheet of paper. |
| -p mode |
Print files in either portrait or landscape mode. Only the first character of mode is significant. The default mode is portrait. |
| -w num |
Set the line width used to implement troff
graphics commands to num points, where a point is approximately 1/72 of an inch. By default, num is set to 0.3 points. |
| -x num |
Translate the origin num inches along the positive x axis. The default coordinate system has the
origin fixed near the upper left corner of the page, with positive x to the right and positive y down the page. Positive num moves everything right. The default offset is 0 inches. |
| -y num |
Translate the origin num inches along the positive y axis. Positive num moves text up the page. The default offset is 0. |
| -F dir |
Use dir as the font directory. The default dir is
/usr/lib/font, and dpost reads binary font files from directory /usr/lib/font/devpost. |
| -H dir |
Use dir as the host resident font directory. Files in this directory should be complete PostScript font descriptions, and must be assigned a name that corresponds to the appropriate two-character troff font name. Each font file is copied to the output file only when needed and at most once
during each job. There is no default directory. |
| -L file |
Use file as the PostScript prologue which, by default, is /usr/lib/lp/postscript/dpost.ps. |
| -O |
Disables PostScript picture inclusion. A
recommended option when dpost is run by a spooler in a networked environment. |
| -T name |
Use font files for device name as the best description of available PostScript fonts. By
default, name is set to post and dpost reads binary files from
/usr/lib/font/devpost. |
| file |
Name of the file. |
