phs-to-ps

Convert .phs output for PostScript

Syntax:

phs-to-ps [-D debug_fname] [-d] [-E] [-F]
          [-L] [-l1] [-od] [-p start[,end]] [-pr]
          [-U filename] [-V]
          filename

Options:

-D debug_fname

Send debug information to the specified file.

-d

Delete the input file after processing.

-E

Create an encapsulated PostScript file.

-F

Specify a fontmap (font substitution table) file. If not set, the utility uses the default Photon fontmap file /usr/photon/font_repository/fontmap.

-L

Enable landscape mode.

-l1

("el one") Postscript Level 1 (default: PostScript Level 2 which supports color).

-od

Append Ctrl-D to the end of the job.

-p start[,end]

Specify the starting (and optionally ending) page number to print. If start is greater than end, the pages are printed in reverse order.

-pr

Print the entire file in reverse order.

-U filename

Delete this file when the print job is completed.

-V

Be verbose (-VV: be more verbose).

filename

Name of a Photon draw-stream (*.phs) file.

Description:

This utility converts Photon draw-stream (.phs) output into PostScript. The configuration file for PostScript printers, /etc/printers/ps.cfg, specifies phs-to-ps as a filter for spooler to use.

The output is sent to stdout. Typically this is redirected to a printer device, as shown in the example.

Examples:

phs-to-ps file.phs >/dev/par
