- The _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t program allows pages from a PostScript document to be
- extracted into a new PostScript document. Pages may be selected according
- to a number of criteria and the selected pages may be output in reverse
- order. In order for _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t to properly function, the input PostScript
- document must conform to the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions (DSC)
- revision 1.0 or higher.
-
- If iiiinnnnffffiiiilllleeee is not specified, _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t will read input from the standard
- input. Similarly, if oooouuuuttttffffiiiilllleeee is not specified, the program will write its
- output to the standard output.
-
- If _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t is specified with no options, it simply copies its standard
- input to standard output.
-
- ----eeee The -_e option selects only even pages for output.
-
- ----oooo The -_o option selects only odd pages for output.
-
- ----pppp_p_a_g_e_s The -_p option specifies which page numbers are to be output.
- _p_a_g_e_s is a comma separated list of page number ranges. A page
- range has the form _f_i_r_s_t-_l_a_s_t. The following examples
- demonstrate how various page ranges may be specified:
-
-
- -p1-5 Select pages 1 thru 5 inclusive
- -p1,5,3 Select pages 1, 3 and 5
- -p-5 Select pages 1 through 5
- -p5- Select pages 5 thru the end of the document
-
- Note that there is no space between the switch and its
- argument.
-
- ----rrrr Specifies that the selected pages should be output in reverse
- order.
-
- ----hhhh Prints a program usage message to the standard error. This
- usage message also lists the currently supported output
- configurations.
-
- ----DDDD Specifies verbose output for debugging purposes.

- NOTES
- 1. _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t selects pages in the order that they appear in the input
- file. The program assumes that the first page encountered is page
- one. This may differ from the actual page ordering of the document.
-
- 2. The ----eeee, ----oooo, and ----pppp switches may be used in combination. For
- example, specifying the switch ----pppp2222----7777 and ----eeee will select all even
- numbered pages between two and seven (i.e. 2, 4, and 6). If both the
- ----eeee and ----oooo switches are specified, all pages within the specified
- page range will be selected.
-
- 3. If _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t 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.
-
- 4. Certain processing options require that _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t create a temporary
- copy of the input file. This temporary file will be created in the
- directory specified by the TTTTMMMMPPPPDDDDIIIIRRRR environment variable. If that
- variable is not set, the temporary file will be created in /_v_a_r/_t_m_p.
- There must be sufficient free space in the temporary file directory
- to store a complete copy of the input file or _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t will fail.
