NAME

   dvitype, odvitype - translate a dvi file for humans

SYNOPSIS

   dvitype dvi_name[.dvi]

DESCRIPTION

   This  manual  page  is  not  meant  to  be  exhaustive.   The  complete
   documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file  or
   manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.

   The  dvitype  program translates a DVI (DeVice Independent) file output
   by (for example) tex(1) or gftodvi(1), to a file that humans can  read.
   It  also  serves as a DVI file-validating program (i.e., if dvitype can
   read it, it's correct) and as an example of a DVI-reading  program  for
   future device drivers.

   The  output  file can include all commands, just the important ones, or
   none at all (in which case only errors are reported).  A subinterval of
   pages  may  be  selected  for  transliteration;  the  magnification and
   resolution of the ``output device'' may be  changed;  and  so  on.  All
   options are specified with an on-line dialog.

   The  .dvi  extension  is supplied if omitted from dvi_name.  The output
   goes to stdout.

OPTIONS

   -dpi=REAL
          Set resolution to REAL pixels per inch; default 300.0.

   -magnification=NUMBER
          Override existing magnification with NUMBER.

   -max-pages=NUMBER
          Process NUMBER pages; default one million.

   -output-level=NUMBER
          Verbosity level, from 0 to 4; default 4.

   -page-start=PAGE-SPEC
          Start at PAGE-SPEC, for example `2' or `5.*.-2'.

   -show-opcodes
          Show numeric opcodes (in decimal).

ENVIRONMENT

   The environment variable TEXFONTS is used to search for the  TFM  files
   used in the DVI file.  See tex(1) for the details of the searching.  If
   TEXFONTS is not set, it uses the system default.

SEE ALSO

   gftype(1), pktype(1).
   Donald E. Knuth, TeXware.

AUTHORS

   Donald E. Knuth wrote the program.  It was published  as  part  of  the
   TeXware  technical  report, available from the TeX Users Group.  Howard
   Trickey and Pavel Curtis originally ported it to Unix.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.



Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.



Free Books


The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.



Education


Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
