SYNOPSIS

10       fimgs [ {fimgs-options} ] file [-- [{fim-options}]]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       fimgs is a wrapper script which takes a PostScript or pdf  or  .cbr  or
14       .rar  or .cbz or .zip or .dvi or any of the above prefixed with http://
15       or https:// or ssh: as input, renders the pages using ghostscript  into
16       a temporary directory and finally calls  fim to display them.
17
18       In  case of compressed archives (in ZIP or RAR formats), the images are
19       decompressed into a directory and displayed using  fim.  In this  case,
20       only  images  contained in the archive will be displayed (no nested ar‐
21       chives or pdf's or ps's or dvi's).
22
23       The temporary directory name will be of the form  $TMPDIR/fbps-$$.   If
24       the  $TMPDIR  environment variable is unset, /dev/shm and /var/tmp will
25       be checked for existence and permissions.  The $$ above is  the  script
26       process  ID.  The script deletes the temporary directory when  fim ter‐
27       minates.
28
29       In order to uncompress RAR archives, fimgs will use 'unrar-nonfree'  or
30       'rar' or 'unrar-free'.
31
32       In order to uncompress ZIP archives, fimgs will use 'zip'.
33
34       In order to uncompress BZ2 files, 'bunzip2' will be used, if present.
35
36       In order to uncompress TAR.GZ or TAR.BZ2 or TAR.XZ archives, fimgs will
37       use 'tar'.
38
39       In order to fetch http:// or https:// prefixed  URLS,  'wget'  will  be
40       used, if present.
41
42       In  order  to  fetch  ssh:  prefixed host:path locations, 'scp' will be
43       used.
44
45       In case of a CBZ, CBR, PDF, PS, or DVI  file,  will  invoke   fim  with
46       '--autotop --autowidth'.
