Name

dvicopy — produce modified copy of DVI file

Synopsis

dvicopy [option...] indvi outdvi

Description

dvicopy reads a DVI file, expands any references to virtual fonts to base fonts, and writes the resulting DVI file. Thus you can use virtual fonts even if your DVI processor does not support them, by passing the documents through dvicopy first.

Options

--alias=app

Pretend to be app, i.e., set program (and memory dump) name to app. This may affect the search paths and other values used. Using this option is equivalent to copying the executable file to app.exe and invoking app.exe.

--disable-installer

Disable automatic installation of missing packages. Specifying this option overwrites the global configuration setting in MiKTeX Options (see the section called “Automatic Package Installation”).

--disable-pipes

Disable input (output) from (to) child processes.

--enable-installer

Enable automatic installation of missing packages. Specifying this option overwrites the global configuration setting in MiKTeX Options (see the section called “Automatic Package Installation”).

--enable-pipes

Enable input (output) from (to) child processes.

--help

Give help and exit.

--hhelp

This option is only available on Windows systems: show the manual page in an HTML Help window and exit when the window is closed.

--include-directory=dir

Prefix dir to the search path.

--mag=mag

Override existing magnification with mag.

--max-pages=n

Process n pages; default one million. This option cannot be used together with --select.

--page-start=page-spec

Start at page-spec, for example 2 or 5.*.-2. This option cannot be used together with --select.

--record-package-usages=file

Record all package usages and write them into file.

--select=sel

Select pages to be copied.

The syntax for sel is: start [n], where start is the starting page specification (for example 2 or 5.*.-2) and n (optional) is the maximum number of pages to be copied.

You can use up to 10 --select options. This option cannot be used together with --max-pages or --page-start.

--trace[=tracestreams]

Enable trace messages. The tracestreams argument, if speciefied, is a comma-separated list of trace stream names (Chapter 9, Trace Streams).

--version
