9.2.1 Invoking fixps
sanitize the PostScript file (or of the standard input if no
file is given, or if file is ‘-’).
Supported options are:
- Option: -h ¶
- Option: --help ¶
Print a short help message and a list of the fixes that are
performed. Exit successfully.
- Option: -V ¶
- Option: --version ¶
report the version and exit successfully.
- Option: -D ¶
- Option: --debug ¶
enter in debug mode.
- Option: -q ¶
- Option: --quiet ¶
- Option: --silent ¶
Run silently.
- Option: -o file ¶
- Option: --output=file ¶
specify the file in which is saved the output.
- Option: -c ¶
- Option: --check ¶
- Option: --dry-run ¶
Don’t actually fix the file: just report the diagnostics.
Contrary to the option ‘fixps -qc’ does absolutely nothing (while
it does take some time to do it nicely).
- Option: -f ¶
- Option: --force ¶
Ask ghoscript for a full rewrite of the file. The output
file is really sane, but can be much longer than the original. For this
reason and others, it is not always a good idea to make a full rewrite.
This option should be used only for files that give major problems.
