NAME
psselect - select pages from a PostScript file
SYNOPSIS
psselect [ -q ] [ -e ] [ -o ] [ -r ] [ -ppages ] [ pages ] [
infile [ outfile ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Psselect selects pages from a PostScript document, creating
a new PostScript file. The input PostScript file should fol-
low the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions.
The -e option selects all of the even pages; it may be used
in conjunction with the other page selection options to
select the even pages from a range of pages.
The -o option selects all of the odd pages; it may be used
in conjunction with the other page selection options.
The -ppages option specifies the pages which are to be
selected. Pages is a comma separated list of page ranges,
each of which may be a page number, or a page range of the
form first-last. If first is omitted, the first page is
assumed, and if last is omitted, the last page is assumed.
The prefix character `_' indicates that the page number is
relative to the end of the document, counting backwards. If
just this character with no page number is used, a blank
page will be inserted.
The -r option causes psselect to output the selected pages
in reverse order.
Psselect normally prints the page numbers of the pages rear-
ranged; the -q option suppresses this.
If any of the -r, -e, or -o options are specified, the page
range must be given with the -p option. This is for back-
wards compatibility with previous versions.
