TR2POST(1) TR2POST(1)
NAME
tr2post - convert troff intermediate to PostScript
SYNOPSIS
tr2post [ options ] [ files ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Tr2post converts files (or standard input), which should be
the device-independent output of troff(1), into the
PostScript printer language.
The options are:
-a aspectratio
Set an aspect ratio (y/x) to stretch the PostScript
output (default 1.0).
-c copies
Set a comment in the PostScript output marking the num-
ber of copies that should be printed. The comment is
intended for ancient versions of the Unix lp(1) and is
not recognized by any current printer or print spooler.
-d Emit volumes of debugging output on standard error.
-m magnification
Magnify the PostScript output (default 1.0).
-n formsperpage
Print the PostScript with formsperpage logical pages
per physical page (default 1). Using this option emits
PostScript with invalid document structuring comments.
It will print fine but will not view correctly in gv(1)
or psv (see page(1)).
-o pagelist
Print only the pages in the pagelist, which is a
comma-separated list of ranges. Each range is of the
form p (just page p), p-q (pages p through q), -p
(pages 1 through p), or p- (pages p through the end of
the document).
-p l Print the document in landscape mode. An argument that
does not begin with `l' will print the document in por-
trait mode.
-x xoffset
Translate the page output by xoffset inches to the
right. (Negative offsets translate to the left.)

-y yoffset

-P pscode
Emit the text pscode at the end of the usual PostScript
header.
