Welcome to UNIX.COM

.seq

File extensions DO NOT have meaning necessarily to a UNIX OS. This is a Windows thing primarily. Some windows-like Linux desktops can be set up to associate certain applications with a file extension. .mp3, for example, may be associated with whatever media application you have.

Programmers often attach meaningful extensions so that someone seeing the file knows what is in it: foo.dat script.sh script1.ksh. Those extensions do not make or break the function of the file like they do in Windows. In Windows if you rename a file like foo.xlsx - an Excel file - to foo.junk then the Windows OS will not open the file using Excel automatically. You get warning messages when you rename files on Windows because of this very issue. Not on UNIX.

-q

Is a command line parameter, an option. You have to read the script to understand what effect -q has on the logic of the shell script. Nobody here can tell you what it does, anything we said would be a pure guess - if we got it right it would be an accident.

PAPS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PAPS(1)

NAME

       paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango

SYNOPSIS

       paps [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves
       through the pango ft2 backend.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       --landscape
	      Landscape output. Default is portrait.

       --columns=cl
	      Number of columns output. Default is 1.

       --font=desc
	      Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12.

       --rtl  Do rtl layout.

       --paper ps
	      Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4.

       --bottom-margin=bm
	      Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36.

       --top-margin=tm
	      Set top margin. Default is 36.

       --left-margin=lm
	      Set left margin. Default is 36.

       --right-margin=rm
	      Set right margin. Default is 36.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --header
	      Draw page header for each page.

       --markup
	      Interpret the text as pango markup.

       --encoding=ENCODING
	      Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING.

       --lpi  Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing.

       --cpi  Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size.

       --stretch-chars
	      Indicates  that  characters  should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops
	      behaviour.
