NAME
pkpgcounter - count number of pages required to print various types of documents DESCRIPTION
pkpgcounter v3.50 (c) 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 Jerome Alet pkpgcounter is a generic Page Description Language parser. pkpgcounter parses any number of input files and/or its standard input and outputs the number of pages needed to print these documents. pkpgcounter can also compute the percent of ink coverage in different colorspaces for several file formats. pkpgcounter currently recognizes the following document formats : * PostScript (both DSC compliant and binary) * PDF * PCLXL (aka PCL6) * PCL3/4/5 * DVI * OpenDocument (ISO/IEC DIS 26300) * Micro- soft Word (c) (tm) (r) (etc...) * Plain text * TIFF * Several other image formats * ESC/P2 * Zenographics ZjStream * Samsung QPDL (aka SPL2) * Samsung SPL1 * ESC/PageS03 * Brother HBP * Hewlett-Packard LIDIL (hpijs) * Structured Fax * Canon BJ/BJC * ASCII PNM (Netpbm) The ten latter ones, as well as some TIFF documents, are currently only supported in page counting mode. command line usage : pkpgcounter [options] [files] options : -v | --version Prints pkpgcounter's version number then exits. -h | --help Prints this message then exits. -d | --debug Activate debug mode. -cCOLORSPACE, --colorspace=COLORSPACE Activate the computation of ink usage, and defines the colorspace to use. Supported values are 'BW' (Black), 'RGB', 'CMYK', 'CMY', and 'GC' (Grayscale vs Color). 'GC' is useful if you only need to differentiate grayscale pages from coloured pages but don't care about ink usage per se. -rRESOLUTION, --resolution=RESOLUTION The resolution in DPI to use when checking ink usage. Lower resolution is faster but less accurate. Default is 72 dpi. examples : $ pkpgcounter file1.ps file2.escp2 file3.pclxl <file4.pcl345 Will launch pkpgcounter and will output the total number of pages needed to print all the documents specified. $ pkpgcounter --colorspace bw --resolution 150 file1.ps Will output the percent of black ink needed on each page of the file1.ps file rendered at 150 dpi.

NAME
gdiffmk - mark differences between groff/nroff/troff files SYNOPSIS
gdiffmk [ -aaddmark ] [ -cchangemark ] [ -ddeletemark ] [ -D [ -B ] [ -Mmark1 mark2 ] ] [ -xdiffcmd ] [ -- ] [ --help ] [ --version ] file1 file2 [ output ] DESCRIPTION
gdiffmk compares two groff(1), nroff(1), or troff(1) documents, file1 and file2, and creates an output which is file2 with added `margin character' (.mc) commands that indicate the differences. If the output filename is present, the output is written there. If it is - or absent the output is written to the standard output. If the file1 or file2 argument is - the standard input is read for that input. Clearly both cannot be -. Note that the output is not necessarily compatible with all macro packages and all preprocessors. See the BUGS section below. OPTIONS
-aaddmark Use the addmark for source lines not in file1 but present in file2. Default: +. -B By default, the deleted texts marked by the -D option end with an added troff break command, .br, to ensure that the deletions are marked properly. This is the only way to guarantee that deletions and small changes get flagged. This option directs the program not to insert these breaks; it makes no sense to use it without -D. -cchangemark Use the changemark for changed source lines. Default: |. -ddeletemark Use the deletemark for deleted source lines. Default: *. -D Show the deleted portions from changed and deleted text. Default delimiting marks: [[ .... ]]. -Mmark1 mark2 Change the delimiting marks for the -D option. It makes no sense to use this option without -D. -xdiffcmd Use the diffcmd command to perform the comparison of file1 and file2. In particular, diffcmd should accept the GNU diff -Dname option. Default: diff(1). -- All the following arguments are treated as file names, even if they begin with -. --help Print a usage message on standard error output and exit. --version Print version information on the standard output and exit. BUGS
The output is not necessarily compatible with all macro packages and all preprocessors. A workaround that is often successful against pre- processor problems is to run gdiffmk on the output of all the preprocessors instead of the input source. gdiffmk relies on the -Dname option of GNU diff(1) to make a merged `#ifdef' output format. It hasn't been tested whether other versions of diff(1) do support this option. See also the -xdiffcmd option. Report bugs to bug-groff@gnu.org. Include a complete, self-contained example that will allow the bug to be reproduced, and say which ver- sion of gdiffmk you are using. AUTHORS
