Knuth supports +one-way conversion from DVI to a text format. +There are also some derivatives: \fBpDVItype\fR for pTeX, +\fBupDVItype\fR for upTeX, \fBODVItype\fR for Omega. +.IP +2) The programs \fBdv2dt\fR and \fBdt2dv\fR can be used +in pairs to allow two-way conversion between DVI and +the DVI Text Language (DTL). +.IP +3) The program \fBdvispc\fR (part of DVIOUT previewer) +also has an ability to convert between DVI and text. +.PP +Among those, \fBDVIasm\fR is designed to allow users to edit +DVI files easily, for example by unifying +``right1''\-``right4'' to a single command ``right'' +which can be used regardless of the amount of move. +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +.TP 10 +\fB--version\fR +Show program's version number and exit. +.TP 10 +\fB-h\fR, \fB--help\fR +Show this help message and exit. +.TP 10 +\fB-u\fR <\fISTR\fR>, \fB--unit=\fR<\fISTR\fR> +Set unit [default: `pt']. +Allowed values are: `sp', `pt', `bp', `mm', `cm' and `in'. +.TP 10 +\fB-o\fR <\fIFILE\fR>, \fB--output=\fR<\fIFILE\fR> +Set filename for output instead of stdout. +.TP 10 +\fB-e\fR <\fISTR\fR>, \fB--encoding=\fR<\fISTR\fR> +Set encoding for input/output of dumped text [default: `utf8']. +Allowed values are: `ascii', `latin1', `utf8', `sjis' and `eucjp'. +When used with the option \fB-p\fR (or \fB--ptex\fR), +allowed values are only `utf8', `sjis' and `eucjp'. +.RS 10 +# NOTE: This feature does not support dumping through stdout. +.RE +.TP 10 +\fB-x\fR <\fISTR\fR>, \fB--xxx-encoding=\fR<\fISTR\fR> +Set encoding for interpreting `xxx:' strings [default: `none']. +Allowed values are: `none', `utf8', `sjis' and `eucjp'. +.RS 10 +This option allows users to specify the correct encoding for +dumping/compiling the contents of \\special. +.TP 2 +Typical usages are as follows: +.IP +1) By default, the contents of \\special are dumped/compiled +as byte-to-byte escape sequences in `\\x..' format. +This would suffice when you don't need to read/edit +the contents of \\special. +.IP +3) For XeTeX and upTeX users, `\fB-x utf8\fR' would be useful +since these engines use UTF-8 to encode strings inside +\\special commands. +.IP +2) For pTeX users with ISO-2022-JP-encoded DVI, +it would be helpful to select the appropriate option +`\fB-x eucjp\fR' (for Unix) or `\fB-x sjis\fR' (for Windows) +to be consistent with the internal Kanji encoding used by +pTeX engine. +.RE +.TP 10 +\fB-t\fR <\fIINT\fR>, \fB--tabsize=\fR<\fIINT\fR> +Set tab size for push/pop [default: 2]. +.TP 10 +\fB-p\fR, \fB--ptex\fR +Dump and compile ISO-2022-JP-encoded DVI for Japanese pTeX. +This option is required to decode or encode Japanese characters +being typeset (using `set2' or `put2') properly. +.TP 10 +\fB-s\fR <\fISTR\fR>, \fB--subfont=\fR<\fISTR\fR> +Specify the list of fonts with UCS2 subfont scheme +in the comma-separated format. +If <\fISTR\fR> is empty, the pre-defined internal subfont list +is disabled. +.RS 10 +This option would be useful for example when using CJK package. +.RE +.SH EXAMPLE +Documentation of +.B DVIasm +by the original author Jin-Hwan Cho is published as: + http://tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb28-2/tb89cho.pdf (TUGboat) + http://ajt.ktug.kr/assets/2008/5/1/0201cho.pdf (Asian Journal of TeX) +.SH AUTHORS +The first version was written in Python 2 by Jin-Hwan Cho in 2007. +Khaled Hosny started to support dumping/compiling XeTeX XDV format in 2014. +Arthur Reutenauer ported the script to Python 3 in 2019. +Current maintainer of \fBDVIasm\fR is Hironobu Yamashita, since 2020. +.SH BUG REPORT +Please visit the GitHub repository . +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR dvitype (1), +.BR dv2dt (1), +.BR dt2dv (1), +.BR dvispc (1). diff --git a/Master/texmf-dist/doc/man/man1/dviasm.man1.pdf b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/man/man1/dviasm.man1.pdf new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..d70bb720ac4 Binary files /dev/null and b/Master/texmf-dist/doc/man/man1/dviasm.man1.pdf differ -- cgit v1.2.3
