The complete documentation for this version\nof TeX can be found in the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.\n\nThe dvitype program translates a DVI (DeVice Independent) file output by (for example) tex(1)\nor gftodvi(1), to a file that humans can read. It also serves as a DVI file-validating pro‐\ngram (i.e., if dvitype can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a DVI-reading program\nfor future device drivers.\n\nThe output file can include all commands, just the important ones, or none at all (in which\ncase only errors are reported). A subinterval of pages may be selected for transliteration;\nthe magnification and resolution of the ``output device'' may be changed; and so on. All op‐\ntions are specified with an on-line dialog.\n\nThe .dvi extension is supplied if omitted from dviname. The output goes to stdout.\n\n### OPTIONS\n\n#### -dpi=\n\nSet resolution to REAL pixels per inch; default 300.0.\n\n#### -magnification=\n\nOverride existing magnification with NUMBER.\n\n#### -max-pages=\n\nProcess NUMBER pages; default one million.\n\n#### -output-level=\n\nVerbosity level, from 0 to 4; default 4.\n\n#### -page-start=\n\nStart at PAGE-SPEC, for example `2' or `5.*.-2'.\n\n#### -show-opcodes\n\nShow numeric opcodes (in decimal).\n\n### ENVIRONMENT\n\nThe environment variable TEXFONTS is used to search for the TFM files used in the DVI file.\nSee tex(1) for the details of the searching. If TEXFONTS is not set, it uses the system de‐\nfault.\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\ngftype(1), pktype(1).\nDonald E. Knuth, TeXware.\n\n### AUTHORS\n\nDonald E. Knuth wrote the program. It was published as part of the TeXware technical report,\navailable from the TeX Users Group. Howard Trickey and Pavel Curtis originally ported it to\nUnix.\n\n\n\nWeb2C 2022/dev 16 June 2015 DVITYPE(1)\n\n" } ], "structuredContent": { "command": "dvitype", "section": "1", "mode": "man", "summary": "dvitype, odvitype - translate a dvi file for humans", "synopsis": "dvitype dviname[.dvi]", "tldr_summary": null, "tldr_examples": [], "tldr_source": null, "flags": [ { "flag": "", "long": null, "arg": null, "description": "Set resolution to REAL pixels per inch; default 300.0." }, { "flag": "", "long": null, "arg": null, "description": "Override existing magnification with NUMBER." }, { "flag": "", "long": null, "arg": null, "description": "Process NUMBER pages; default one million." }, { "flag": "", "long": null, "arg": null, "description": "Verbosity level, from 0 to 4; default 4." }, { "flag": "", "long": null, "arg": null, "description": "Start at PAGE-SPEC, for example `2' or `5.*.-2'." }, { "flag": "", "long": null, "arg": null, "description": "Show numeric opcodes (in decimal)." } ], "examples": [], "see_also": [ { "name": "gftype", "section": "1", "url": "https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/gftype/1/json" }, { "name": "pktype", "section": "1", "url": "https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/pktype/1/json" } ], "section_outline": [ { "name": "NAME", "lines": 2, "subsections": [] }, { "name": "SYNOPSIS", "lines": 2, "subsections": [] }, { "name": "DESCRIPTION", "lines": 15, "subsections": [] }, { "name": "OPTIONS", "lines": 1, "subsections": [ { "name": "-dpi=", "lines": 2 }, { "name": "-magnification=", "lines": 2 }, { "name": "-max-pages=", "lines": 2 }, { "name": "-output-level=", "lines": 2 }, { "name": "-page-start=", "lines": 2 }, { "name": "-show-opcodes", "lines": 2 } ] }, { "name": "ENVIRONMENT", "lines": 4, "subsections": [] }, { "name": "SEE ALSO", "lines": 3, "subsections": [] }, { "name": "AUTHORS", "lines": 7, "subsections": [] } ], "sections": { "NAME": { "content": "dvitype, odvitype - translate a dvi file for humans\n", "subsections": [] }, "SYNOPSIS": { "content": "dvitype dviname[.dvi]\n", "subsections": [] }, "DESCRIPTION": { "content": "This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.
