PKTYPE(1) General Commands Manual PKTYPE(1)NAME
pktype - verify and translate a packed font bitmap file to plain text
SYNOPSIS
pktype pk_file[pk]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual
Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The pktype program translates a packed font file (pk) (output by, for example, gftopk(1) to a file that humans can read. It also serves as
a pk file-validating program (i.e., if pktype can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a pk-reading program for other software that
wants to read pk files.
The input pk_file on the command line may omit the suffix `pk. The plain text translation is always written to standard output.
The output file gives a compact encoding of the packed encoding, using conventions described in the source code. Run lengths of black pix-
els alternate with parenthesized run lengths of white pixels, and brackets are used to indicate when a row should be repeated.
ENVIRONMENT
pktype looks for pk_file in the usual places according to Kpathsea.
See tex(1) for the details of the searching.
SEE ALSO dvitype(1), gftopk(1), gftype(1).
Donald E. Knuth et al., Metafontware.
AUTHORS
Tomas Rokicki wrote the program, Donald E. Knuth originally ported it to Unix, Pierre MacKay originally adapted it for compilation with
Web2c.

We have quite a few threads about this subject. I have collected some of them and arranged them by the OS which is primarily discussed in the thread.

I'm writing a command shell, and I want to be able to detect when the user presses an arrow key (otherwise it just prints [[A, [[B, etc.). I know it's relatively easy (although somewhat more time-consuming) to detect keystrokes in noncanonical mode, but I've noticed that the bash shell detects... (4 Replies)
I'm learning off Linux (Ubuntu) right now. I want to move up to Unix, but I don't want to rush like I did when it came to Windows --> to Linux. What is the best Unix OS that fits in pretty well with Ubuntu.
In other words is there kind of an equal Linux with Unix?
Also what do I need to... (10 Replies)
I noticed my hostname is <my-full-name>s-macbook.local. I'm not sure exactly what information leaves the local network, and whether the hostname is included, but if it is, this would mean people on the Internet can look at my hostname and see who I am. Before anyone says that's not possible,... (4 Replies)
