DVITYPE(1)                           General Commands Manual                           DVITYPE(1)

NAME
       dvitype, odvitype - translate a dvi file for humans

SYNOPSIS
       dvitype dvi_name[.dvi]

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The complete documentation for this ver-
       sion of TeX can be found in the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.

       The dvitype program translates a DVI (DeVice Independent) file  output  by  (for  example)
       tex(1)  or  gftodvi(1), to a file that humans can read. It also serves as a DVI file-vali-
       dating program (i.e., if dvitype can read it, it's correct) and as an example  of  a  DVI-
       reading program for future device drivers.

       The  output  file  can  include  all commands, just the important ones, or none at all (in
       which case only errors are  reported).   A  subinterval  of  pages  may  be  selected  for
       transliteration; the magnification and resolution of the ``output device'' may be changed;
       and so on. All options are specified with an on-line dialog.

       The .dvi extension is supplied if omitted from dvi_name.  The output goes to stdout.

OPTIONS
       -dpi=REAL
              Set resolution to REAL pixels per inch; default 300.0.

       -magnification=NUMBER
              Override existing magnification with NUMBER.

       -max-pages=NUMBER
              Process NUMBER pages; default one million.

       -output-level=NUMBER
              Verbosity level, from 0 to 4; default 4.

       -page-start=PAGE-SPEC
              Start at PAGE-SPEC, for example `2' or `5.*.-2'.

       -show-opcodes
              Show numeric opcodes (in decimal).

ENVIRONMENT
       The environment variable TEXFONTS is used to search for the TFM  files  used  in  the  DVI
       file.   See  tex(1) for the details of the searching.  If TEXFONTS is not set, it uses the
       system default.

SEE ALSO
       gftype(1), pktype(1).
