The complete +documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file +or manual +.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" . +.PP +The +.B dvitype +program translates a DVI (DeVice Independent) file output by (for example) +.BR tex (1) +or +.BR gftodvi (1), +to a file that humans can read. It also serves as a DVI file-validating +program (i.e., if +.B dvitype +can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a DVI-reading +program for future device drivers. +.PP +The output file can include all commands, just the important +ones, or none at all (in which case only errors are reported). +A subinterval of pages may be selected for transliteration; the +magnification and resolution of the ``output device'' may be +changed; and so on. All options are specified with an on-line dialog. +.PP +The +.B .dvi +extension is supplied if omitted from +.IR dvi_name . +The output goes to +.IR stdout . +.\"===================================================================== +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BI \-dpi= REAL +Set resolution to +.I REAL +pixels per inch; default 300.0. +.PP +.TP +.BI \-magnification= NUMBER +Override existing magnification with +.IR NUMBER . +.PP +.TP +.BI \-max-pages= NUMBER +Process +.I NUMBER +pages; default one million. +.PP +.TP +.BI \-output-level= NUMBER +Verbosity level, from 0 to 4; default 4. +.PP +.TP +.BI \-page-start= PAGE-SPEC +Start at +.IR PAGE-SPEC , +for example `2' or `5.*.-2'. +.PP +.TP +.B \-show-opcodes +Show numeric opcodes (in decimal). +.\"===================================================================== +.SH ENVIRONMENT +The environment variable TEXFONTS is used to search for the TFM files +used in the DVI file.
