9.SH DESCRIPTION
10This manual page documents briefly the
11.B pkpgcounter
12command.
13.PP
14\fBpkpgcounter\fP is a convenience script provided by pykota that attempts
15to count the number of pages in a DSC compliant PostScript, PDF, PCL5,
16PCL6 (aka PCLXL) or ESC/P2 document. Binary PostScript is also supported but through
17GhostScript, which is launched if needed. This may be of use as an external accounter as defined in
18/etc/pykota/pykota.conf, since currently \fBpkpgcounter\fP is the smarter
19software accounter included with PyKota.
20
21\fBpkpgcounter\fP with no argument reads the job's data from stdin, and prints
22the number of pages on stdout.
23
24\fBpkpgcounter\fP accepts any number of filenames as its arguments, and also the
25special argument '-' in place of stdin. With multiple arguments it prints
26the total number of pages of all the documents.
