fimgs

fimgs(1)						      General Commands Manual							  fimgs(1)

NAME

       fimgs - poor man's [http://]PostScript/pdf/dvi/cbr/rar/cbz/zip viewer for the linux framebuffer console

SYNOPSIS

       fimgs [ options ] file

DESCRIPTION

       fimgs  is a simple wrapper script which takes a PostScript or pdf or .cbr or .rar or .cbz or .zip or .dvi or any of the above prefixed with
       http:// as input, renders the pages using ghostscript into a temporarely directory and finally calls fbi to display them.  In case of  com-
       pressed	archives  (in  zip  or rar formats), the images are decompressed into a directory and displayed.  In this latter case, only images
       contained in the archive will be displayed (no nested archives or pdf's or ps's or dvi's).

OPTIONS

       fimgs still does not understand all of fim's options (they are not passed through).  so please use fimgs -h to get help on its options.

       You can use option -p <password> if your PDF file requires password.

SEE ALSO
