NAME
     psif - PostScript input filter splitter for lpr

SYNOPSIS
     psif [ args...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     psif executes either /usr/local/libexec/psif-ps or /usr/local/libexec/psif-
     text  according  to whether or not the first two characters 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  argu-
     ments that it received.

     Usually  psif will be specified as the value of if capability in the print-
     cap 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), fol-
     lowed by a PostScript page reversal filter such as  psrev(1)  (only  needed
     for  PostScript printers that stack face up), followed by PostScript commu-
     nication filter such as lprps(8); /usr/local/libexec/psif-ps will be  simi-
     lar 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)
