C2PS(1) General Commands Manual C2PS(1) NAME c2ps - converts a file with C/C++ code to Postscript SYNOPSIS c2ps [ -?h124abceikmnruvwx ] [ -F defaultfont ] [ -C commentfont ] [ -K keywordfont ] [ -N lnumberfont ] [ -P preprocfont ] [ -S stringfont ] [ -T typefont ] [ -U functionfont ] [ -X nonlatinfont ] [ -d dim ] [ -f font- size ] [ -l lines ] [ -p paper ] [ -o outputfile ] [ -s space ] [ -t tab- size ] [ -_ fun_highlight ] [ -DPREPROC_VAR ... ] [ -UPREPROC_VAR ... ] [ file ... ] DESCRIPTION Converts the specified file(s) containing C/C++ code to Postscript output conforming to the Adobe Structuring Conventions. If no input file is specified then input is accepted from stdin. Post- script output is directed to stdout unless you specify an output file. The actual output page may be out with one, two or four columns. Supported paper types are A4 and Letter. Tabs in the input stream are expanded (by default) by blank characters to the closest modulo 8 position. You can specify your own constant number of blanks different from 8 for a tab to expand. A formfeed (^L) character makes the converter move to the next column. By default, C/C++ constructs are highlighted with following standard fonts presented on every Postscript printer: Preprocessor directives Courier-BoldOblique Comments Helvetica-Oblique Strings Courier-Oblique Keywords Courier-Bold Line numbers Times-Roman Types Courier-Bold Function identificators Bookman-LightItalic The rest is printed with Courier (default font). If highlighting is dis- abled only the default font is used to print the read code (but not line numbers). Comments may be printed dimmed to a configurable degree in a way that al- lows reader to concentrate mainly on the source itself referring to com- ments only when needed. c2ps has basic preprocessor capabilities. You may define/undefine pre- processor variables in the command line. c2ps will neglect those pieces of code that are cut out by the preprocessor given a set of mentioned vari- ables. By default, on each column c2ps draws an alphabetic index of all function id definitions with locations, scanned from the beginning of the file being printed. As the number of these id's grows the font used to print the in- dex may get smaller in order to accommodate all the entries. Occasionally, function index is drawn upon already printed source code. To cope with this you can either cancel the index option or use smaller fonts. All the read symbols with codes 128..255 (0x80..0xff) are printed escaped so that c2ps output is all clean 7-bit ascii and can be sent over the In- ternet without uuencoding. You can easily print source including fragments in Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic etc. which may be found in string and/or comments if you're printing C/C++ code and anywhere otherwise. You just need a postscript font with encoding corresponding to the one that is used in the above fragments. If there's no suitable built-in font in your PS printer you will have to prepend one to c2ps output. If the symbols from the both halves of the code table are implemented in your PS font, you may simply use it to print any constructs that include 8-bit text (don't forget to disable ISO Latin 1 font reencoding). Other- wise, with only upper half symbols (with codes > 127(0x7f)) implemented, there is an option to set a font to print specifically these symbols leav- ing the rest to be printed by either default or newly set fonts. Also, as much as we know there exists a version of c2ps modified to support Chinese (Hanja) and Korean (Hangul). An address of the implementor is on the c2ps web page. This is a manual page for c2ps ver4.0 OPTIONS -? -h Print usage message. -1 Specify single column per page output - default (portrait). -2 Specify two columns per page output (1/2 size, landscape). -4 Specifiy four columns per page output (1/4 size, portrait). -a Disable adjusted multiple lines comments printing. -b Disable drawing a box containing alphabetic index of functions scanned from the beginning of the file. -c Disable C/C++ construct highlighting. -e Disable printing entry/exit function name in the column's header. -i Disable ISO 8859-1 (ISO Latin 1) character encoding. -k Use standard set of keywords rather than extended one. -m When printing a file use the date of printing instead of file's last modification date. -n Disable line numbering. -r Draw a frame round each column. -u Disable drawing header at the top of each column. -v Print current version. -w Disable wrapping too wide lines onto following lines. Note, that when wrapping is enabled the maximum number of characters in line printed with any font is the number of the same point size Courier characters that may appear in single line without crossing column's border. -x Automatically toggle C/C++ highlight flag for each file according to its extension. ( Applicable extensions include .c .h .cc .hh .cpp .hpp ) -F defaultfont Use defaultfont as default font. -C commentfont Use commentfont to print comments. -K keywordfont Use keywordfont to print keywords. -N lnumberfont Use lnumberfont to print line numbers. -P preprocfont Use preprocfont to print preprocessor directives. -S stringfont Use stringfont to print strings. -T typefont Use typefont to print types. -U functionfont Use functionfont to print function identificators being defined. -X nonlatinfont Use nonlatinfont to print all symbols with codes > 127(0x7f). ISO Latin 1 encoding is automatically cancelled. -d dim Print comments dimmed with the coefficient dim. ( black: 0.0 <= dim <= 1.0 :white ). Default is 0.75. So you can actually get rid of the comments in your printout by setting dim coef. to 1.0 -f pointsize Use pointsize -scaled fonts ( 10 - default ). -l lines Make converter start a new column after each set of lines printed lines. You may want to use the resulted at the bottom of the column white space for notes if the space on the right is not sufficient. -p paper Paper type specification ( A4 - default, Letter ). -s points Leave points * 1/72 inch space between lines ( 0.0 - default ). -t tabsize Expand each read tab with blanks to a next modulo tabsize position ( 8 - default ). -_ fun_highlight Specify function id highlighting type ( none, box, underline - de- fault ). -DPREPROC_VAR -UPREPROC_VAR You may define or undefine preprocessor variables in a standard com- piler option fashion. Below: +/-: printed/not printed by c2ps column 1: for variable X not mentioned in command line column 2: for variable X defined column 3: for variable X undefined 1 2 3 + - - #ifdef X + + - C/C++ code (+ preprocessor directives) + - - #else + - + C/C++ code (+ preprocessor directives) + - - #endif Similarly for #ifndef, just switch columns 2 and 3.
