pschunky - convert a PostScript file to CHUNKY data format

_p_s_c_h_u_n_k_y converts a PostScript file into CHUNKY printer data format, for
use by CHUNKY format printer drivers. Starting in Impressario 1.1, the
CHUNKY format has been superseded by the STIFF file format (see
_l_i_b_s_t_i_f_f(_3)). The _p_s_c_h_u_n_k_y program is provided for compatibility with
_I_m_p_r_e_s_s_a_r_i_o release 1.0 and _T_e_k_P_h_a_s_e_r 1.0. The successor program,
_p_s_r_i_p(_1), should now be used for PostScript to raster format conversion.
CCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd LLLLiiiinnnneeee OOOOppppttttiiiioooonnnnssss
By default, _p_s_c_h_u_n_k_y assumes that its input will be arriving on standard
input (stdin), and that its output should be written to standard output
(stdout). If a filename is specified after all option switches, data
will be read from that file rather than from standard input.
----oooo _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
Specifies the name of the file to which the rasterized output
will be sent. If the ----oooo option is not specified, output will
be sent to standard output.
----pppp _p_o_d__p_a_t_h
Specifies the full pathname of the Printer Object Database
(POD) files (see _l_i_b_p_o_d(_3)). The POD pathname is typically
/_v_a_r/_s_p_o_o_l/_l_p/_p_o_d/<_p_r_i_n_t_e_r__n_a_m_e>. If this option is specified,
the printer specific values for output width, length,
resolution, offset and format are filled in from the POD and
need not be specified using command-line options. Use of the
----pppp option is preferable to manually setting the options because
changes to the printer configuration file will then be
reflected in the program's output. The values read from the POD
._c_o_n_f_i_g file can be selectively overridden using the command-
line options. If POD values must be overridden, specify the
overriding options after (to the right of) the ----pppp option, since
the rightmost option takes precedence. See warnings section
below.
----dddd _f_o_r_m_a_t Specifies the output data format. The value of _f_o_r_m_a_t may be
one of the following: kkkk (black only), ccccmmmmyyyy (CMY only, default),
or ccccmmmmyyyykkkk (CMYK data). These data formats are described further
in the _I_m_p_r_e_s_s_a_r_i_o _D_e_v_e_l_o_p_e_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e. The data format is
normally derived from the POD, which is kept up to date with
the current printer configuration. Note that all output formats
are one bit deep.

----wwww _w_i_d_t_h, ----llll _l_e_n_g_t_h
The ----wwww and ----llll options specify the output data area in dots, in
the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) directions, respectively.
These values are normally derived from the POD, which is kept
up to date with the currently loaded paper size.
----rrrr _r_e_s, ----xxxx _h_r_e_s, ----yyyy _v_r_e_s
The ----rrrr option specifies the printer resolution in dots per inch
in the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) directions
simultaneously. These values may be set independently using
the ----xxxx and ----yyyy options. These values are normally derived from
the POD, which is kept up to date with the current printer
configuration.
----XXXX _h_o_f_f, ----YYYY _v_o_f_f
These options specify the horizontal (x) and vertical (y)
offsets of the frame buffer origin, respectively. These
options may be used to adjust the PostScript origin to
compensate for image clipping and should be used with care.
Values for these options are normally derived from the POD.
----ffff Specifies that the output should be in landscape orientation
rather than portrait. Note that specifying this option simply
creates the raster imaging framebuffer with the page width and
height values swapped. It is the responsibility of the
PostScript input code to operate correctly in a landscape
orientation.
----DDDD Specifies verbose output for debugging purposes.

1. The _p_s_c_h_u_n_k_y program is obsolete and is provided for compatibility
with earlier versions of the _I_m_p_r_e_s_s_a_r_i_o product.The program may be
removed from future releases of _I_m_p_r_e_s_s_a_r_i_o. Developers should use
the _p_s_r_i_p program and _l_i_b_s_t_i_f_f to produce and read STIFF format
output files.
2. A number of undocumented and unsupported command-line options found
in earlier releases of _p_s_c_h_u_n_k_y have been removed.
NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEE
If _p_s_c_h_u_n_k_y is given an unrecognized or incomplete command line option
switch, it will print a warning message to the standard error, ignore the
option and continue processing.
