`FILE'
The name of the file to be displayed. The file ending `.ps' may
be omitted. FILE may point to a compressed file (gzipped,
bzipped, zipped or compressed). Viewing PDF files requires at
least ghostscript version 4.x.
`--ad=FILE'
Read and use additional resources from the file FILE. These
resources have higher priority than those provided in the context
of the `--style' option.
`--antialias, --noantialias'
Whether to use antialiasing.
`--arguments=ARGS'
Start ghostscrip with additional options as specified by the
string ARGS.
`--center, --nocenter'
Whether the page should be centered automatically.
`--dsc, --nodsc'
Determines if _document structuring convention_ (DSC) comments
should be respected or ignored. If `--nodsc' is used gv will not
attempt to examine the structure of the document but will pass the
file to the ghostscript interpreter as a whole. In this case no
page numbers are shown and freely moving around in the document is
not possible. This option may help when viewing files not
conforming to the _document structuring conventions_.
`--eof, --noeof'
Defines the behaviour of the postscript scanner used to examine the
structure of the document. If `--noeof' is used the scanner will
ignore end of file (EOF) comments. This may help when viewing
documents which import other documents without enclosing them
within the proper "BeginDocument" and "EndDocument" comments. If
`--eof' is used, the scanner treats an EOF comment as marking the
end of the file.
`--fullscreen'
Selects the fullscreen mode.
`--infoSilent'
Do not show any ghostscript messages in an info popup window.
`--infoErrors'
Only show error messages from ghostscript in an info popup window.
`--infoAll'
Shows all ghostscript messages in an info popup window.
`--pixmap, --nopixmap'
If `--pixmap' is used gv tries to maintain off-screen regions of
the displayed page by allocating a sufficiently large pixmap. If
`--nopixmap' is used the _X Server_ is responsible for maintaining
obscured portions of the displayed page (see also the
_useBackingPixmap_ resource).
`--version'
Print the version number of gv to standard output and exit.
`--help, --usage'
Display a short help message and exit.
`--scale=N'
N must be an integer or a positive float. In case N is an
integer, N selects the scale entry N relative to the scale 1.0.
With the special value of `-1000' Fit to page is selected, and
likewise with the value of `-1001' Fit widthto page is selected.
In case N is a float, N selects an arbitrary scale.
`--scalebase N'
Selects the scale base N.
`--monochrome, --grayscale, --color'
Sets the color palette to be used.
`--media=MEDIA'
Selects the paper size to be used. Valid values are names of paper
sizes that appear in the list of page medias as given by the
MEDIAS resource.
`--page=LABEL'
Display the page with label LABEL first.
`--orientation=ORIENTATION'
Sets the orientation. Valid values for ORIENTATION are `portrait',
`landscape', `seascape' and `upsidedown'.
`--quiet, --noquiet'
Whether to start ghostscript with the `-dQUIET' option.
`--resize, --noresize'
Whether ghostscrip is allowed to automatically fit the size of its
window to the size of the displayed page.
`--password=PASSWORD'
When opening a file, use PASSWORD to decrypt it. This Option is
usefull for viewing encrypted PDF files.
`--presentation'
Is actually a shortcut for `--fullscreen --noresize --scale=-1000
--widgetless'.
`--safer, --nosafer'
Whether to start ghostscript in safer mode (that includes he
`-dSAFER' option or the `-dDELAYSAFER' mode where appropriate) and
the `-P-' option.
`--safedir, --nosafedir'
Whether to start ghostscript from a safe direcotry or not.
`--spartan'
This is a shortcut for `--style=gv_spartan.dat'.
`--style=FILE'
Read and use additional resources from the file FILE. These
resources have lower priority than those provided in the context
of the `--ad' option.
`--swap, --noswap'
Whether to interchange the meaning of the orientations landscape
and seascape.
`--watch, --nowatch'
The `--watch' option causes gv to check the document periodically.
If changes are detected gv will automatically display the newer
version of the file. The document is by default checked once
every second. This can be changed via the _watchFileFrequency_
resource. Note that sending gv the *SIGHUP* signal also causes an
update of the displayed document. This method may be used by
document creators to trigger gv remotely.
`--widgetless'
This is a shortcut for `--style=gv_widgetless.dat'.
