PSIF(8)			    System Manager's Manual		       PSIF(8)

NAME
       psif - PostScript input filter splitter for lpr

SYNOPSIS
       psif [ args...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       psif    executes	   either   /usr/local/libexec/psif-ps	 or   /usr/lo-
       cal/libexec/psif-text according to whether or not the first two charac-
       ters of its standard input are %!.  psif	will arrange that the  process
       that  it	 executes  sees	 the same standard input that it did, and will
       pass the	process	the same arguments that	it received.

       Usually psif will be specified as the value of  if  capability  in  the
       printcap	 entry	for a PostScript printer; /usr/local/libexec/psif-text
       will be a shell script that runs	a text to PostScript  filter  such  as
       textps(1),  followed  by	 a  PostScript	page  reversal	filter such as
       psrev(1)	(only needed for PostScript printers that stack	face up), fol-
       lowed by	PostScript communication filter	 such  as  lprps(8);  /usr/lo-
       cal/libexec/psif-ps  will  be  similar  except that it will not run the
       text to PostScript filter.

FILES
       /usr/local/libexec/psif-text   Filter for text files.

       /usr/local/libexec/psif-ps     Filter for PostScript files.

SEE ALSO
       textps(1), psrev(1), printcap(5), lprps(8)
