-an initial -.BI - N -means -from the beginning to page -.IR N ; -and a final -.IB N - -means -from -.I N -to the end. -Print only 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 -.BI \-p mode -Print -in -.I mode -.B p -(portrait) -or -.B l -(landscape). -The default is -.BR p . -.TP -.BI \-x num -Translate the origin -.I num -inches along the positive x axis. -By default, -the origin is -fixed near the -upper left corner of the page, with positive -x to the right and positive y down the page. -Positive -.I num -moves everything right. -The default offset is 0 inches. -.TP -.BI \-y num -Translate the origin -.I num -inches along the positive y axis. -Positive -.I num -moves text down the page. -The default offset is 0. -.TP -.BI \-A file -Append a simple accounting record to -.I file -after all input -.I files -have been successfully translated. -By default no accounting data is produced. -.TP -.BI \-L file -Use -.I file -as the PostScript prologue. -.TP -.BI \-f name -Print -.I files -using font -.I name. -Any PostScript font can be used, -but constant width fonts yield the best results. -The default font is Courier. -.RI ( postdaisy, -.IR postprint, -and -.IR posttek -only) -.TP -.BI \-f -Flip the sense of the bits in -.I files -before printing the bitmaps. -.RI ( postdmd -only) -.PP -In addition, three options allow the insertion of arbitrary PostScript -at controlled points in the translation process: -.TP \n(xxu -.BI \-C file -Copy -.I file -to the output file. -.I File -follows the prologue but -precedes any job initialization commands. -.I File -becomes part of the job's global environment -and must contain legitimate PostScript commands. -.TP -.BI \-P string -Like -.BR -C , -using a -.I string -instead of the contents of a file. -.TP -.BI \-R action -Requests special -.I action -(e.g. manualfeed) on a per page or global basis. -The -.I action -string has the general form -.IB request : page : file, -from which -.BI : page : file -or -.B : file -can be omitted. -An omitted or 0 page number -applies to all pages. -If file is omitted the request -lookup is done in -.FR /usr/lib/postscript/ps.requests . -The collection of recognized requests can be modified or extended -by changing this file. -Multiple occurrences of the -.B \-R -option behave as expected. -.SH FILES -.TF /usr/lib/font/devpost/charlib/* -.TP -.F /usr/lib/font/devpost/*.out -.TP -.F /usr/lib/font/devpost/charlib/* -.TP -.F /usr/lib/postscript/*.ps -default prologues -.TP -.F /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.pictures -.I troff -macros for PostScript -.SH SEE ALSO -.IR lp (1), -.IR postio (8) -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -Exit status 2 -usually means a syntax error in some input file. -.SH BUGS -Output files -will often violate Adobe's -file structuring conventions. -Pipe the output of -.I dpost -through -.I postreverse -to produce a minimally conforming PostScript file. -.PP -Although -.I dpost -can handle files formatted for any -.IR troff -device, emulation is expensive and -can easily double the print time and the size of the output file. -.PP -No attempt has been made to implement the character sets -or fonts available on all devices supported by -.I troff. -Missing characters are replaced by white space;
