pexpand (1)
NAME
|
pexpand - expand requested commands in metafile |
SYNOPSIS
|
pexpand [ +/-EPDOCSURIlrtmvsp ] file
.. |
DESCRIPTION
|
Pexpand reads each metafile file in sequence
and expands any commands specified in a '+' option, and
deletes any commands specified in a '-' option. This is
necessary because most drivers will not support many
metafile commands such as 'v' (vector string) and 'O', 'C',
and 's' (segments). Pexpand will expand '+' instances
into the corresponding primitives which are supported, and
delete all '-' instances. |
|
Certain commands are currently considered basic, and must be
supported by all drivers. The commands 'D', 'E', 'S', 'U',
'R', 'l', 'r', and 't' are basic (see
metafile(5)). |
|
If no input files are specified, the standard input is
read. |
|
Expand the requested command(s). |
|
Delete the requested command(s). |
EXAMPLE
|
To expand vector strings and segements, and delete pauses
from "meta": |
