- _D_t_e_r_m interprets its input (standard input default) as out-
- put from _d_i_t_r_o_f_f(I) and sends its output to standard out.
- _D_t_e_r_m is intended as a vveerryy rough previewer for seeing how a
- paper will be layed out. Input processed for any typesetter
- is mapped into a terminal's resolution to place characters
- approximately where they would appear on the final output
- device. This is _n_o_t meant to be readable (except with the
- --aa option, see below), and some characters will be missing.
- Typical usage:
-
-
- ditroff -t file | dterm
- or
- ditroff -P`dev' -t file > intermediate
- dterm intermediate
-
- At the end of each page _d_t_e_r_m prompts the user and waits for
- a newline (empty line) from the keyboard before continuing
- on to the next page. In this wait state, _d_t_e_r_m accepts a
- few commands. Enter ?? to print the list of available com-
- mands.
-
- The command line options are:
-
- --cc Don't wait between pages; for directing output to _m_o_r_e
- or into a file.
-
- --oo_l_i_s_t
- prints only the pages enumerated in _l_i_s_t. The list
- consists of pages and page ranges (e.g., 5-17)
- separated by commas. The range _n- goes from _n to the
- end; the range -_n goes from the beginning to and
- including page _n.
-
- --hh_n Set the horizontal resolution (in characters per inch)
- to _n; default is 10.0.
-
- --vv_n Set the vertical resolution (in lines per inch) to _n;
- default is 6.0.
-
- --ll_n Set the maximum line length (in characters) to _n;
- default is 79.
-
- --mm Allow printing of margins (default action is for dterm
- to print out only enough to show what's on the page).

-
- -m forces printing a page from the upper-left corner.
-
- --aa force text to come out in a readable form (meant to
- look something like ``ditroff -a''). This usually
- pushes the text farther right than it was meant to go.
- It also does not prevent lines of text from a coming
- out on top of each other.
-
- --LL Put a form feed (^L) at the end of each page.
-
- --ww Equivalent to ``-c -L -h20 -v12 -l131'' to format for
- extra-large printouts on a line-printer.
-
- --ff_s Get special character file (see below) from _s instead
- of the default /usr/lib/font/devter/specfile.
-
- The ``specfile'' is a file of special character translations
- that map troff special character names to strings to print
- on a terminal. Each line in the file consists of two
- strings separated by a space. The first string is the spe-
- cial character name in troff and the second is what to print
- on the terminal. Special characters NOT in this file will
- not print anything.
