.SH DESCRIPTION |
12 |
|
|
.I Pexpand |
13 |
|
|
reads each metafile |
14 |
|
|
.I file |
15 |
|
|
in sequence and expands any commands specified in a '+' option, |
16 |
|
|
and deletes any commands specified in a '-' option. |
17 |
|
|
This is necessary because most drivers will not support many |
18 |
|
|
metafile commands such as 'v' (vector string) and 'O', 'C', and 's' |
19 |
|
|
(segments). |
20 |
|
|
.I Pexpand |
21 |
|
|
will expand '+' instances into the corresponding primitives which |
22 |
|
|
are supported, and delete all '-' instances. |
23 |
|
|
.PP |
24 |
|
|
Certain commands are currently considered basic, and must be supported |
25 |
|
|
by all drivers. |
26 |
|
|
The commands 'D', 'E', 'S', 'U', 'R', 'l', 'r', and 't' are |
27 |
|
|
basic (see metafile(5)). |
28 |
|
|
.PP |
29 |
|
|
If no input files are specified, the standard input is read. |
