14 Fbgs is a simple wrapper script which takes a PostScript (PS) or Porta‐
15 ble Document Format (PDF) file as input, renders the pages using gs(1)
16 - GhostScript - into a temporary directory and finally calls fbi(1) to
17 display them.
18
20 Fbgs understands all fbi(1) options (they are passed through), except:
21 store, list, text, (no)comments, e, (no)edit, (no)backup, (no)preserve,
22 (no)readahead, cachemem, blend.
