Overview
Fbgs is a simple wrapper script which takes a PostScript (PS) or Portable Document Format (PDF) file as input, renders the pages using gs(1) - GhostScript - into a temporary directory and finally calls fbi(1) to display them.
Options
Fbgs understands all fbi(1) options (they are passed through), except: store, list, text, (no)comments, e, (no)edit, (no)backup, (no)preserve, (no)readahead, cachemem, blend.
Additionally you can specify:
-
-h, --help -
Print usage info (overwrites fbi option).
-
-b, --bell -
Emit a beep when the document is ready.
