NAME

       fbgs - Poor man's PostScript/pdf viewer for the linux framebuffer console.

SYNOPSIS

       fbgs  [-l|-xl|-xxl|-r n] [-c] [-b] [-p password] [--fp number] [--lp number] [fbi options]
       file

DESCRIPTION

       Fbgs is a simple wrapper script which takes a PostScript (PS) or Portable Document  Format
       (PDF)  file  as  input,  renders  the  pages  using gs(1) - GhostScript - into a temporary
       directory and finally calls fbi(1) to display them.

OPTIONS

       Fbgs understands all fbi(1) options (they are passed through), except: store, list,  text,
       (no)comments, e, (no)edit, (no)backup, (no)preserve, (no)readahead, cachemem, blend.

       Additionally you can specify:

       -h, --help
              Print usage info (overwrites fbi option).

       -b, --bell
              Emit a beep when the document is ready.

       -c, --color
              To render the pages in color (default is N&B).

       -l     To get the pages rendered with 100 dpi (default is 75).

       -xl    To get the pages rendered with 120 dpi.

       -xxl   To get the pages rendered with 150 dpi.

       -r n, --resolution n
              To get the pages rendered with n dpi (overwrites fbi option).

       -fp number, --firstpage number
              Begins interpreting on the designated page of the document.

       -lp number, --lastpage number
              Stops interpreting after the designated page of the document.

       -p password, --password password
              You can use this option if your PDF file requires a password.
