For complete documentation of +.B pswrap +and the language it accepts, see "pswrap Reference Manual" +in \fIProgramming the Display PostScript System with X.\fR +.LP + +.SH OPTIONS +.LP +.TP +.I inputfile +A file that contains one or more wrap definitions. +.B pswrap +transforms the definitions in +.I inputfile +into C procedures. If no input file is specified, the standard +input (which can be redirected from a file or pipe) is used. The input file +can include text other than wrap definitions. +.B pswrap +converts wrap definitions to C procedures and passes the other text +through unchanged. Therefore, it is possible to intersperse C-language +source code with wrap definitions in the input file. +.RS +.LP +.I Note: +Although C code is allowed in a pswrap input file, it is not allowed +within a wrap body. In particular, no CPP macros (for example, #define) are +allowed inside a wrap. +.RE +.TP +.B \-a +Generates ANSI C procedure prototypes for procedure definitions in +.I outputCfile +and, optionally, +.I outputHfile. +The +.B \-a +option allows compilers that recognize the +ANSI C standard to do more complete type checking of parameters. The +.B \-a +option also causes +.B pswrap +to generate const declarations. +.RS +.LP +.I Note: +ANSI C procedure prototype syntax is not recognized by most non-ANSI C +compilers, including many compilers based on the Portable C Compiler. Use the +.B \-a +option only in conjunction with a compiler that conforms to the ANSI C Standard. +.RE +.TP +.BI \-h " outputHFile" +Generates a header file that contains extern declarations for non-static +wraps. This file can be used in #include statements in modules that use +wraps. If the +.B \-a +option is specified, the declarations in the header file +are ANSI C procedure prototypes. If the +.B \-h +option is omitted, a header file is not produced. +.TP +.BI \-o " outputCFile" +Specifies the file to which the generated wraps and passed-through text are +written. If omitted, the standard output is used. If the +.B \-a +option is also specified, the procedure definitions generated by +.B pswrap +are in ANSI C procedure prototype syntax. +.TP +.B \-p +Specifies that strings passed by wraps are padded so that each data object +begins on a long-word (4-byte) boundary. This option allows wraps to run on +architectures that restrict data alignment to 4-byte boundaries and +improves performance on some other architectures. +.TP +.B \-r +Generates reentrant code for wraps shared by more than one process (as in +shared libraries). Reentrant code can be called recursively or by more than +one thread. The +.B \-r +option causes +.B pswrap +to generate extra code, so use it only when necessary. +.TP +.BI \-s " maxstring" +Sets the maximum allowable length of a PostScript string object or +hexadecimal string object in the wrap body input. A syntax error is reported if a +string is not terminated with ) or > within +.I maxstring +characters. +.I maxstring +cannot be set lower than 80; the default is 200. + +.SH SEE ALSO +\fIProgramming the Display PostScript System with X\fR +(Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., 1993). + +.SH AUTHOR +Adobe Systems Incorporated + +.SH NOTES +PostScript and Display PostScript are trademarks +of Adobe Systems Incorporated which may be registered +in certain jurisdictions. +.PP +Copyright (c) 1988-1994 Adobe Systems Incorporated.
