NAME

       dpsexec - Display PostScript Executive

SYNOPSIS

       dpsexec [ -display name ][ -sync ][ -backup ][ -noexec ][ -root ][ -drawable windowId ][ -height n ][ -width n ]

DESCRIPTION

       dpsexec	is a Display PostScript program that allows the user to interact directly with the PostScript interpreter through a command inter-
       face.  dpsexec reads lines of text from standard input and passes each line to the PostScript interpreter for execution.  It creates a win-
       dow that displays the results of graphics operations as they are executed.  dpsexec exits when end of file is reached on standard input, or
       when the user types "quit<return>", which executes the PostScript quit operator.

       By default, dpsexec executes the PostScript executive operator before it accepts any user input.  This operator puts the PostScript  inter-
       preter  in  "interactive  executive"  mode so that the user can control the interpreter directly.  In this mode, the PostScript interpreter
       supports certain line-editing functions and prompts the user when it is ready to execute more input.  See section 2.4.4, "Using the  Inter-
       preter Interactively," of the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition, for detailed information on this mode of operation.

OPTIONS

       -display name
	      specifies  the display on which to open a connection to the Display PostScript system. If no display is specified, the DISPLAY envi-
	      ronment variable is used.

       -sync  establishes a synchronous connection with the specified X display.

       -backup
	      uses backing store for the window in which graphics are displayed, if possible.  This is generally only effective with  the  DPS	NX
	      system.

       -noexec
	      prevents	dpsexec  from  entering  "interactive  executive"  mode.  The primary effect of this option is to inhibit printing the PS>
	      prompt before each line of input is accepted.  This option is useful when dpsexec is run with standard input redirected from a  file
	      or a pipe.

       -root  tells dpsexec to draw into the root window instead of into a window that it creates.

       -drawable windowId
	      tells dpsexec to draw into the specified window instead of into a window that it creates.

       -height n
	      sets the height of the created window.

       -width n
	      sets the width of the created window.

DIAGNOSTICS

       PostScript language error messages are printed to standard output.
