7.PP
8pkpgcounter is a generic Page Description Language parser.
9.PP
10pkpgcounter parses any number of input files and/or its standard input
11and outputs the number of pages needed to print these documents.
12.PP
13pkpgcounter can also compute the percent of ink coverage in different
14colorspaces for several file formats.
15.PP
16pkpgcounter currently recognizes the following document formats :
17.IP
18* PostScript (both DSC compliant and binary)
19* PDF
20* PCLXL (aka PCL6)
21* PCL3/4/5 (mostly)
22* DVI
23* Plain text
24* TIFF
25* ESC/P2
26* OpenDocument (ISO/IEC DIS 26300)
27* Zenographics ZjStream
28* Samsung QPDL (aka SPL2)
29* Samsung SPL1
30.PP
31The five latter ones, as well as some TIFF documents, are currently
32only supported in page counting mode.
33.PP
34command line usage :
35.IP
36pkpgcounter [options] [files]
37.PP
38options :
39.TP
40\fB\-v\fR | \fB\-\-version\fR
41Prints pkpgcounter's version number then exits.
42.TP
43\fB\-h\fR | \fB\-\-help\fR
44Prints this message then exits.
45.TP
46\fB\-d\fR | \fB\-\-debug\fR
47Activate debug mode.
48.TP
49\fB\-cCOLORSPACE\fR, \fB\-\-colorspace\fR=\fICOLORSPACE\fR
50Activate the computation of ink usage, and defines the
51colorspace to use. Supported values are 'BW' (Black),
52\&'RGB', 'CMYK', 'CMY', and 'GC' (Grayscale vs Color).
53\&'GC' is useful if you only need to differentiate
54grayscale pages from coloured pages but don't care
55about ink usage per se.
56.TP
57\fB\-rRESOLUTION\fR, \fB\-\-resolution\fR=\fIRESOLUTION\fR
58The resolution in DPI to use when checking ink usage.
59Lower resolution is faster but less accurate. Default
60is 72 dpi.
61.PP
62examples :
63.IP
64\f(CW$ pkpgcounter file1.ps file2.escp2 file3.pclxl <file4.pcl345\fR
65.IP
66Will launch pkpgcounter and will output the total number of pages
67needed to print all the documents specified.
68.IP
69\f(CW$ pkpgcounter --colorspace bw --resolution 150 file1.ps\fR
70.IP
71Will output the percent of black ink needed on each page of
72the file1.ps file rendered at 150 dpi.
