-.TH POSTREVERSE 8 local
-.SH NAME
-postreverse \- reverse the page order in a postscript file
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B postreverse
-[ options ] [ file ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Postreverse
-reverses the page order in a minimally conforming PostScript
-.I file
-and writes the results on the standard output.
-If no
-.I file
-is specified, the standard input is read.
-The following
-.I options
-are understood:
-.TP 1.0i
-.BI \-o list
-Select pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated
-.IR list .
-The list contains single numbers
-.I N
-and ranges
-.IB N1 \- N2.
-A missing
-.I N1
-means the lowest numbered page, a missing
-.I N2
-means the highest.
-.TP 1.0i
-.B \-r
-Don't reverse the pages in
-.I file.
-.TP 1.0i
-.BI \-T dir
-Use
-.I dir
-as the temporary file directory when
-reading from the standard input.
-By default
-.I dir
-is set to /tmp.
-.PP
-.I Postreverse
-can handle files the violate page independence,
-provided all global definitions are bracketed by
-\&\f(CW%%BeginGlobal\fP and \&\f(CW%%EndGlobal\fP
-comments.
-In addition files that mark the end of each page
-with \&\f(CW%%EndPage: label ordinal\fP comments
-will also reverse properly, provided the prologue and
-trailer sections can be located.
-If the end of the prologue isn't found, the entire
-.I file
-is copied, unmodified, to the standard output.
-.PP
-Since global definitions are pulled out of individual
-pages and put in the prologue, the output file can be
-minimally conforming, even if the input
-.I file
-wasn't.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-Select pages 1 to 100 from
-.B file
-and reverse the pages,
-.PP
-.RS
-\f(CWpostreverse -o1-100 file\fP
-.RE
-.PP
-Print 4 logical pages on each physical page
-and reverse all the pages,
-.PP
-.RS
-\f(CWpostprint -n4 file | postreverse\fP
-.RE
-.PP
-Produce a minimally conforming file from output
-generated by dpost without reversing the pages,
-.PP
-.RS
-\f(CWdpost file | postreverse -r\fP
-.RE
-.PP
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-0 exit status is returned if
-.I file
-was successfully processed.
-.SH BUGS
-No attempt has been made to deal with redefinitions of global
-variables or procedures.
-If standard input is used, the input
-.I file
-will be read three times before being reversed.
