\b0 is a simple program for communicating with the PostScript Window Server. pft first forms a connection to a Window Server. It then sends characters typed by the user to the Window Server, and it prints out data received from the Window Server. Use Control-D to generate an end-offile, which will cause pft to exit.\
At startup time, pft looks for the file ~/.pftrc. If it exists, it sends its contents to the Window Server after the connection to the server is made. This is a convenient place to define utility procs.\
Normally, special definitions of =, == and pstack are downloaded at startup time to ensure their results are flushed back to pft for immediate display. The -r option causes pft to skip these redefinitions.

\b0 is used to build a binary file format known as the prebuilt file for use by the NextStep(tm) Window Server. It takes as input a number of standard Adobe Bitmap Description format files and produces a much more compact binary representation of the bits in those files. The Bitmap Distribution Format files provided as input to prebuild must be given in order from smallest to largest. In Display PostScript, every face of every font is defined by a PostScript program (see the PostScript(R) Language Reference Manual for more details on how to create a PostScript font). In order for the NextStep system to use a font, the font creator must provide the PostScript language file defining the outlines of the characters of the font, and an Adobe Font Metrics file describing separately the widths of those characters. To allow the window server to see this new font, the outline and afm files for it must be placed in the appropriate subdirectories one of the three standard Fonts directories: /NextLibrary/Fonts, /LocalLibrary/Fonts, or ~/Library/Fonts. Below each of these three directories there are three subdirectories: outline, to contain the PostScript-language outline fonts definitions; afm, to contain the afm files; and bitmap, to contain the files output by prebuild. prebuild outputs a file in the current directory whose name is the name of the font followed by the suffix indicating the byte sex of the file (.bepf for big-endian files, and .lepf for little-endian files). This file should be placed in the bitmap subdirectory of the appropriate Fonts directory. By convention, the BDF files used as input to prebuild may be kept in a fourth subdirectory of Fonts, called bitmapSources; however, this is not required by prebuild.

The ps?f entries are all links to the psint.sh shell script. This script uses argv[0] (the name it was invoked under) to determine which action to take. The options are as specified in the 4.2BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual. This shell script reads a printer-specific shell script named .options in the current working directory (the spooling directory) which may do additional printer-specific processing. The .options script is often used to redefine the values of some environment variables which regulate page-reversal, how to print banner pages, etc. See below. The psof entry is responsible for formatting a banner break page. It exec's the psbanner filter which leaves the banner page in a file named ``.banner'' for pscomm to print. The program pscomm is the lowest level filter. It manages communication with the printer, error handling, status reporting, etc. It distinguishes between text files and POSTSCRIPT print files. If the input to pscomm does not begin with the POSTSCRIPT magic number -the first two characters being ``%!'' -pscomm will invoke pstext to format the file in the POSTSCRIPT language, then list it to the printer. If the first bytes of the input file are ``%!PSAdobe-'', and if the printer options so specify, pscomm will also page-reverse the file (with the psrv filter) before printing. All other ``formatting'' filters run pscomm at the far end of a pipeline, the nearer end doing translation to POSTSCRIPT only. psgf, psnf, and pstf, are the filters for plot(5), ditroff(1), and troff(1) respectively. The psif filter will also accept any POSTSCRIPT print file, such as those generated by Scribe. Other filter entries, such as those for TeX DVI files, cifplot, and raw raster data are not available in the TRANSCRIPT package, although they may be available from other sources. The default action for these filter types is to execute psbad, a script which prints and logs an error message that the translation filter is not available. The translation filters are usually invoked by giving an option to lpr(1). It is not correct to invoke the interface filters directly. More flexibility in format conversion may be achieved by invoking the appropriate translator directly, rather than specifying an lpr option. psint.sh environment variables. There are a number of environment variables used by the spooler filters. These are listed below. The psint.sh script sets the initial value for each, and the .options file can be used to change the value for a particular printer. Note that Bourne shell syntax must be used in both psint.sh and the .options file. Many of the variables take a number value, and specify whether an action should take place or not; 1 means do the action, and 0 means don't do it.

\b0 converts C/A/T format file (i.e., as produced by the original [o]troff(1)), to POSTSCRIPT format on the standard output. If no file argument is given, the standard input is used. The average user will probably be happy using ptroff(1), but explicit use of pscat gives more control. Page offset distances and the page length are specified by giving a fixed-point real number optionally followed by a units measure. For example, 1in means one inch, 15mm means fifteen millimeters.

\b0 builds correspondence tables and width tables so that documents produced with original [o]troff(1) can be translated into POSTSCRIPT programs by pscat. pscatmap parses a human-readable mapping table and generates five output files a family.ct file, containing the character correspondence table for pscat, and four ft?? files, to be used as troff width tables. On 4.2bsd systems, these files are C programs (ftxx.c) to be compiled into widths tables. On System V systems, these files are the binary width tables themselves. The structure of the .map files is relatively easy to understand. If you want to create your own, the best thing to do is use an existing one as a template. Lines that begin with ``%'' are comments. Blank (empty) lines are ignored. Lines beginning with ``@'' are command lines.

\b0 is the TRANSCRIPT document manager, invoked by the printer interface script, psinterface (System V), or psint.sh (BSD), after the printer interface program has been invoked by the print spooler.\
\b psdman
\b0 is responsible for reading the the document file to be printed, and taking the appropriate action to prepare the file for printing on a POSTSCRIPT printer. psdman distinguishes between text files (which get formatted) and POSTSCRIPT print files. If the input to psdman does not begin with the POSTSCRIPT magic number the first two characters being ``%!'' psdman will invoke enscript to create a listing of the file. If the first bytes of the input file are ``%!PS-Adobe-'', and if the printer options so specify, psdman will also will perform various document management tasks, such as page reversal, font and other resource downloading, and printer-specific feature inclusion (manual feed, duplex, paper tray setting, etc.) before printing, if so requested. psdman supports LZW compression and ASCII85 encodingfor Level 2 printers.\
ENVIRONMENT\
There are a number of environment variables used by psdman These are listed below. The psinterface (System V) or psint.sh (BSD) script sets the initial value for each, and the printer options file can be used to change the value for a particular printer. Note that Bourne shell syntax must be used in the printer options file. For BSD, this file is in the spool directory; for System V, look in /usr/spool/lp/transcript/ps.opt. Many of the variables take a number value, and specify whether an action should take place or not; 1 means do the action, and 0 means don't do it.\
REVERSE=number\
Reverse the page order\
VERBOSELOG=number\
Print verbose log messages\
COMPRESS=number\

PSTEMPDIR=Directory name\
Directory for temp files\
One could turn off page reversal for a particular printer by adding this line to the printer.opt file:\

\b0 reads in the specified POSTSCRIPT file (or the standard input if no file is named), and if the input conforms to the POSTSCRIPT file structuring conventions, provides page order reversal, landscape orientation and selection of specified pages for printing. Font and other resource downloading is supported as well as inclusion of printerspecific features, such as manual feed. pslpr also supports ASCII85 encoding and lzw compression for Level 2 printers.
\b pslpr
\b0 sends output to filename if the -p option is used; otherwise the output is printed on the printer specified by either the -Pprinter option for BSD or the -ddest option of System V. If none of these options is used, pslpr prints on the printer specified by the PRINTER environment variable, if present, or to a printer named "POSTSCRIPT".\
EXAMPLES\
The following command reads a POSTSCRIPT file called printfile.ps and prints pages 3 through 19, 37 through 60 and page 90, in landscape format. The -d option (System V only; for BSD use -P option) directs the output to the printer called ps, and is required when using the -L option.\
In the next example a textfile is processed by enscript, creating a POSTSCRIPT file, which is piped to pslpr and printed page-reversed on the printer named LaserBlaster.\
In this example, a POSTSCRIPT file is prepared for printing on a specific printer (LaserBlaster), but is saved in a file (LBprintfile), instead of being spooled for printing.\
\b pslpr -p LBprintfile -P LaserBlaster doc.ps\
\b0 \
ENVIRONMENT\
PSRESOURCEPATH path name to use for accessing printer resource information for downloadable resources.\
PSTEMPDIR path name of temporary directory to use instead of /tmp for spooled temporary files.\
PRINTER (4.3bsd) the name of a printer (as in the -P option) for lpr to use. If no -P option is specified, lpr will use this printer. If neither -P nor PRINTER is set, pslpr will spool to a printer named ``PostScript''.

\b0 reads in a POSTSCRIPT file (or the standard input if no file is named), and if the input conforms to the POSTSCRIPT file structuring conventions, provides page rotation, printing of multiple pages on a sheet of paper (n-up printing), selection of page and paper sizes, and writes the resulting file on the standard output. The output may be directed to a file.\
EXAMPLES\
The following command reads a POSTSCRIPT file called printfile.ps and formats it with 4 pages on a sheet of paper. The file is piped through pslpr to be printed on the printer called ps.\
\b psnup -n4 printfile.ps | pslpr -P ps\
\b0 \
In this example a textfile is processed by enscript, creating a POSTSCRIPT file, which is piped to psnup, which rotates the file and formats it with 3 virtual pages across and 2 virtual pages up and down on a page of paper. The formatted file is printed by piping the file through pslpr.\
\b enscript -ptextfile | psnup -r -n 3x2 | pslpr\
\b0 \
In this example a textfile is processed by enscript, creating a POSTSCRIPT file, which is piped to psnup, formatted in gaudy mode (-G option), with four virtual pages per actual page of output. The formatted file is printed by piping the file through pslpr. The result is printed pages with four original text pages on each sheet, with each original text page surrounded by a border.\

Rows refers to the number of page images across a sheet of paper, columns to the number of page images down a sheet of paper. The specification -n 2x2 is equivalent to the specification -n 4. If the number of pages on a sheet is pecified as a single number, the number must be a power of 2

\b0 reads files in plot(5) format and converts them to POSTSCRIPT format on the standard output. If no files are specified, the standard input is used. The conversion is almost one-for-one, with one POSTSCRIPT function call for each plot primitive. The behavior of the generated file can be modified by changing the definitions of the POSTSCRIPT functions in the prologue. If no -g option is specified, the default prologue is used.
\b0 is a shell script that runs [di]troff(1) in an environment to produce output on a POSTSCRIPT printer. It uses psdit to convert ditroff intermediate output to POSTSCRIPT format, and spools this for printing. If no files are specified, the standard input is used. For those interested in including arbitrary POSTSCRIPT language commands or files in a ditroff document, see psdit(1).

The name can be used to find the character in font documentation for the appropriate font(s).\
Many of the symbols below are from the Symbols font. Some are in each alphabetic font. Those marked with "*" are constructed with POSTSCRIPT code, and so are not necessarily from any font.
