It also serves as a DVI file-validating program (i.e., if .B dvitype can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a DVI-reading program for future device drivers. .PP The output file can include all commands, just the important ones, or none at all (in which case only errors are reported). A subinterval of pages may be selected for transliteration; the magnification and resolution of the ``output device'' may be changed; and so on. All options are specified with an on-line dialog. .PP The .I dvi_file_name on the command line must be complete. The .I .dvi extension is not supplied if omitted. The output goes to .IR stdout . .\"===================================================================== .SH ENVIRONMENT The environment variable TEXFONTS is used to search for the TFM files used in the DVI file. See .BR tex (1) for the details of the searching. If TEXFONTS is not set, it uses the system default: .br .I @DEFAULT_TFM_PATH@ .\"===================================================================== .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR gftype (1), .BR pktype (1). .br Donald E. Knuth, .IR \*(OXware . .\"===================================================================== .SH AUTHORS Donald E. Knuth wrote the program. It was published as part of the .I \*(OXware technical report, available from the \*(TX Users Group. Howard Trickey and Pavel Curtis originally ported it to Unix.
