.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B pkpgcounter
command.
.PP
\fBpkpgcounter\fP is a convenience script provided by pykota that attempts
to count the number of pages in a DSC compliant PostScript, PDF, PCL5, 
PCL6 (aka PCLXL) or ESC/P2 document. Binary PostScript is also supported but through 
GhostScript, which is launched if needed. This may be of use as an external accounter as defined in 
/etc/pykota/pykota.conf, since currently \fBpkpgcounter\fP is the smarter 
software accounter included with PyKota.

\fBpkpgcounter\fP with no argument reads the job's data from stdin, and prints
the number of pages on stdout. 

\fBpkpgcounter\fP accepts any number of filenames as its arguments, and also the
special argument '-' in place of stdin. With multiple arguments it prints
the total number of pages of all the documents.

For further information, see the HTML documentation that came with the pykota
package, found in /usr/share/doc/pykota/html/.
