17

20
21       -q, --quiet
22              don't print informational messages
23
24       -o, --output=FILE
25              save result in FILE.  If FILE is `-', send to stdout
26
27       -f, --force
28              force full rewrite by ghostscript

34              don't perform any action
35
36   Fixes:
37              -  Remove  junk  before  and after PostScript content - Use only
38              Unix end of lines (\n) - Remove empty lines - Fix Apple prologue
39              (fixmacps)  -  Fix FrameMaker prologue (fixfmps) - Fix CorelDraw
40              prologue (fixnt) - Fix Windows NT 3.5/4.0 prologue (fixnt) - Fix
41              Windows  95  prologue  -  Ensure there is a `%%BeginSetup/%%End‐
42              Setup' section - Removes  Canvas'  extraneaous  `%%EndDocument:'
43              comments - Split too long lines
44
45       If  the  FILE  seems  really in a bad state, ghostscript may be used to
46       perform a full rewrite.  The output might then be significantly bigger,
47       but much safer.
