NAME

pft − communicate with PostScript Window Server

SYNOPSIS

pft [ −NXHost hostname ] [ −f file ] [ −s ] [ −NXPSName file ]

DESCRIPTION

pft is a simple program for communicating with the PostScript Window Server.  pft first forms a connection to a Window Server.  It then sends characters typed by the user to the Window Server, and it prints out data received from the Window Server.  Use Control-D to generate an end-of-file, which will cause pft to exit. 

OPTIONS

−NXHost
Directs pft to connect to the Window Server running on the machine hostname.  If this option isn’t used, the local Window Server is assumed.  The option -host is equivalent. 

−f Causes the contents of file to be sent to the Window Server before user input is accepted. 

−s Causes pft to exit after a file specified with -f is sent to the Window Server. 

−NXPSName
Sets the string that pft uses to find the Window Server that it will connect to.  This is the name that the Window Server used to register itself with the Network Message Server (nmserver).
