HP2XX, A HP-GL Converter

1.1 Invoking hp2xx

The format of the hp2xx command is:

 
hp2xx [options] [input-file/s]

It follows the UNIX System V tradition of a filter, i. e., options begin with `-', followed by a single letter and an optional parameter. Options must appear immediately behind the program name and before the input file name(s) (if specified). If no input file is given, hp2xx reads from stdin. In addition to this traditional option handling, hp2xx also supports GNU-style long options and option/non-option permutation (see section B. Option summary). However, throughout this manual all examples will only display short options.

hp2xx writes to the output file whose name can be specified by option `-f'. Without option `-f', hp2xx generates output file names from the input names and the selected mode (see option `-m'). hp2xx writes to stdout if you supply a dash as output file name like in `-f-'.
