NAME
     daps - Autologic APS-5 typesetter filter

SYNOPSIS
     daps [option ...] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     daps prints files created by troff(1M) on any printer that accepts the
     APS-5 graphics and page layout language. If no file is mentioned, the
     standard input is printed.

OPTIONS
     -f dir         Uses dir as the font directory (default for dir is
                    /usr/lib/font/devaps).

     -F dir         Same as -f.

     -t             Uses standard output (if you are not going to have daps
                    directly drive the APS-5 typesetter).

     -r             Reports the number of pages.

     -A             Writes the accounting information to stderr.

     -b             Reports whether typesetter is busy or not. Nothing is
                    printed.

     -w             Waits until typesetter is available, then processes the
                    job.

     -o list        Only processes the pages whose numbers are given in the
                    comma-separated list. The list may contain single pages
                    or page ranges, where the latter consists of a pair of
                    pages separated by "-".

     -s num         Stops processing every num pages, and halts the
                    typesetter.

     -v num         Uses num as the maximum vertical step size up or down
                    the page. The argument num is interpreted as tenths of
                    a point.

     -h str         Uses str as the string to be printed in the header.

     -H path        Uses path as the pathname of the file whose first line
                    contains the string to be printed in the header.

     -d number      Toggles the debug flags for each number contained in
                    the string number. If number contains the character "*"
                    then all of the debug flags will be toggled. Maximum
                    for number is 20.

     -D dumpfile   Writes all of the debug information into file
                    dumpfile.

     -L logfile    Writes all error messages into file logfile.

     -I             Ignores all fatal errors. This option is only to be
                    used for debugging - it may cause a core file to be
                    written.

     The input file file must be generated by troff. Best results will
     almost certainly be obtained only when troff and daps agree on the
     target printer.

EXAMPLES
     1) Output directly to the APS-5 phototypesetter:

          pic file | eqn | troff -mm | daps

     2) Redirect output from standard output to the APS-5 phototypesetter:

          pic file | eqn | troff -mm | daps -t | lp -daps-printer

FILES
     /usr/lib/font/devaps
