enscript − convert text files to PostScript
enscript [−12BcgGhjkKlmOqrRvVzZ] [−# copies] [−a pages] [−A align] [−b header] [−C[start_line]] [−d printer] [−D key[:value]] [−e[char]] [−E[lang]] [−f font] [−F header_font] [−H[num]] [−i indent] [−I filter] [−J title] [−L lines_per_page] [−M media] [−n copies] [−N newline] [−o outputfile] [−o −] [−p outputfile] [−p −] [−P printer] [−s baselineskip] [−S key[:value]] [−t title] [−T tabsize] [−u[text]] [−U num] [−W language] [−X encoding] [filename ...]
Enscript converts text files to PostScript and spools generated PostScript output to the specified printer or leaves it to file. If no input files are given, enscript processes standard input. Enscript can be extended to handle different output media and it has many options which can be used to customize printouts.
|
−# num |
Print num copies of each page. |
−1, −2, −−columns=num
Specify how many columns each page have. With long option −−columns=num you can specify more than 2 columns per page.
−a pages, −−pages=pages
Specify which pages are
printed. Page specification pages can be given in
following formats:
begin−end
print pages from begin to end
|
−end |
print pages from 0 to end |
|||
|
begin− |
print pages from begin to end |
|||
|
page |
print page page |
|||
|
odd |
print odd pages |
|||
|
even |
print even pages |
−A align, −−file−align=align
Align separate input files to even align page count. This is handy for two-side and 2-up printings (−−file−align=2).
−b header, −−header=header
Use text header as a page header. The default page header is constructed from file’s name and last modification time.
The header string header can contain the same formatting escapes which can be specified for the %Format directives in the user defined fancy headers. For example, the following option prints the file name, current data and page numbers:
enscript --header=’$n %W Page $% of $=’ *.c
The header string can also contain left, center and right justified fields which are separated with the ’|’ character:
enscript --header=’$n|%W|Page $% of $=’ *.c
now the file name is printed left justified, the date is centered to the header and the page numbers are printed right justified.
−B, −−no−header
Do not print page headers.
−c, −−truncate−lines
Cut lines that are too long. As a default, enscript wraps long lines so no information is lost.
See also option −−slice which can be used to slice long lines to separate pages.
−C[start_line], −−line−numbers[=start_line]
Precede each line with its line number. Optional argument start_line specifies the number of the first line in the input. The number of the first line defaults to 1.
|
−d name |
Spool output to the printer name. |
−D key[:value], −−setpagedevice=key[:value]
Pass a page device definition to the generated PostScript output. If no value is given, key key is removed from definitions.
For example, command
enscript −DDuplex:true foo.txt
prints file foo.txt in duplex (two side) mode.
Page device operators are implementation dependant but they are standardized. See section PAGE DEVICE OPTIONS for details.
−e[char], −−escapes[=char]
Enable special escapes interpretation (see section SPECIAL ESCAPES). If argument char is given, it changes the escape character to char. The default escape character is 0.
−E[lang], −−pretty−print[=lang]
Pretty-print source code by creating a special input filter with the states program. Optional argument lang specifies the language to highlight, as a default states makes an educated guess.
A description of supported highlighting languages and file formats can be printed with command:
enscript −−help−pretty−print
The highlighting rules are defined in the ’/usr/share/enscript/enscript.st’ file which can be edited to create highlighting definitions for new languages.
Note! You can’t use your own input filters with this option.
−f name, −−font=name
Select font that is used for body text. The default body font is Courier10, unless multicolumn landscape printing mode is selected, in which case the default is Courier7.
Font specification name contains two parts: font’s name and font’s size in points. For example "Times−Roman12" selects "Times−Roman" font with size 12pt.
The font specification name can also be given in format ’name@ptsize’, where font’s name and point size are separated by a ’@’ character. This allows enscript to use fonts which contain digit characters in their names.
The font point size can also be given in format width/height where width and height specify the font’s size in x- and y-directions. For example "Times−Roman@10/12" selects 10 points wide and 12 points high "Times−Roman" font.
Note! font sizes can be given as a decimal number. For example "Times−Roman10.2" selects 10.2pt "Times−Roman" font.
−F name, −−header−font=name
Select font for header texts.
−g, −−print−anyway
Print file even if it contains binary data. Option is here only for compatibility since enscript prints binary files anyway.
−G, −−fancy−header[=name]
Print fancy page header name to top of each page. Option −G specifies the default fancy header (see section CONFIGURATION FILES to see how the default fancy header can be changed).
−h, −−no−job−header
Suppress printing of the job header page.
−H[num], −−highlight−bars[=num]
Specify how high highlight bars are in lines. If num is not given, the default value 2 is used. As a default, no highlight bars are printed.
−i num, −−indent=num
Indent every line num characters. The indentation can also be specified in other units by appending an unit specifier after the number. Possible unit specifiers and the corresponding units are:
|
c |
centimeters |
|||
|
i |
inches |
|||
|
l |
characters (default) |
|||
|
p |
PostScript points |
−I filter, −−filter=filter
Read all input files through input filter filter. Input filter can be a single command or a command pipeline and it can refer to the name of the input file with escape ’%s’. The name of the input file stdin can be changed with option ’−−filter−stdin’.
For example, the following command can be used to print file ’foo.c’ by using only upper-case characters:
enscript --filter="cat %s | tr ’a-z’ ’A-Z’" foo.c
And to highlight changes made to files since the last checkout:
enscript --filter="rcsdiff %s | diffpp %s" -e *.c
Note! To include string "%s" to the filter command, you must write it as "%%s".
−j, −−borders
Print borders around columns.
−J title
An alias for option −t, −−title.
−k, −−page−prefeed
Enable page prefeed.
−K, −−no−page−prefeed
Disable page prefeed (default).
−l, −−lineprinter
Emulate lineprinter. This option is a shortcut for options: −−lines−per−page=66, −−no−header.
−L num, −−lines−per−page=num
Print only num lines per each page.
−m, −−mail
Send mail notification to user after print job has been completed.
−M name, −−media=name
Select output media name. Enscript’s default output media is Letter.
−n num, −−copies=num
Print num copies of each page.
−N nl, −−newline=nl
Select the newline character. Possible values for nl are: n (unix newline, 0xa hex) and r (mac newline, 0xd hex).
|
−o file |
An alias for option −p, −−output. |
−O, −−missing−characters
Print a listing of character codes which couldn’t be printed.
−p file, −−output=file
Leave output to file file. If file is ’−’, leave output to stdout.
−P name, −−printer=name
Spool output to the printer name.
−q, −−quiet, −−silent
Make enscript really quiet. Only fatal error messages are printed to stderr.
−r, −−landscape
Print in landscape mode; rotate page 90 degrees.
−R, −−portrait
Print in portrait mode (default).
−s num, −−baselineskip=num
Specify the baseline skip in PostScript points. Number num can be given as a decimal number. When enscript moves from line to line, current point y coordinate is moved (font point size + baselineskip) points down. The default baseline skip is 1.
−S key[:value], −−statusdict=key[:value]
Pass a statusdict definition to the generated PostScript output. If no value is given, key key is removed from definitions.
Statusdict operators are implementation dependant; see printer’s documentation for details.
For example, command
enscript −Ssetpapertray:1 foo.txt
prints file foo.txt by using paper from the paper tray 1 (assuming that printer supports paper tray selection).
−t title, −−title=title
Set banner page’s job title to title. Option sets also the name of the input file stdin.
−T num, −−tabsize=num
Set tabulator size to num (default is 8).
−u[text], −−underlay[=text]
Print string text under every page. Text’s properties can be changed with options −−ul−angle, −−ul−font, −−ul−gray, −−ul−position and −−ul−style.
If no text is given, no underlay is printed. This can be used to remove underlay that was specified with the ’Underlay’ configuration file option.

Users can create their own fancy headers by creating a header description file and placing it in a directory which is in enscript’s library path. The name of the header file must be in format: ’headername.hdr’. Header can be selected by giving option: −−fancy−header=headername.
Header description file contains PostScript code that paints the header. Description file must provide procedure do_header which is called by enscript at the beginning of every page.
Header description file contains two parts: comments and code. Parts are separated by a line containing text:
% −− code follows this line −−
Enscript copies only the code part of description file to the generated PostScript output. The comments part can contain any data, it is not copied. If separator line is missing, no data is copied to output.
Enscript defines following constants which can be used in header description files:
|
d_page_w |
page width | ||
|
d_page_h |
page height | ||
|
d_header_x |
header lower left x coordinate | ||
|
d_header_y |

height of the text output area | ||
|
user_header_p |
predicate which tells if user has defined his/her own header string: true/false |
user_header_left_str
if user_header_p is true, this is the left field of the user supplied header string.
user_header_center_str
if user_header_p is true, this is the center field of the user supplied header string
user_header_right_str
if user_header_p is true, this is the right field of the user supplied header string
|
HF |
standard header font (from −F, −−header−font option). This can be selected simply by invoking command: ’HF setfont’. | ||
|
pagenum |

|
fname |
the full name of the printed file (/foo/bar.c) | ||
|
fdir |
the directory part of the file name (/foo) | ||
|
ftail |
file name without the directory part (bar.c) |
gs_languagelevel
PostScript interpreter’s language level (currently 1 or 2)
You can also use the following special comments to customize your headers and to specify some extra options. Special comments are like DSC comments but they start with a single ’%’ character; special comments start from the beginning of the line and they have the following syntax:
%commentname: options
Currently
enscript support the following special comments:
%Format: name format
Define a new string constant name according to the format string format. Format string start from the first non-space character and it ends to the end of the line. Format string can contain general ’%’ escapes and input file related ’$’ escapes. Currently following escapes are supported:
|
%% |
character ’%’ | ||
|
$$ |
character ’$’ | ||
|
$% |
current page number | ||
|
$= |
number of pages in the current file | ||

|
%d |
current working directory | ||
|
%D ($D) |
current date (file modification date) in ’yy-mm-dd’ format |
%D{string} ($D{string})
format string string with the strftime(3) function. ’%D{}’ refers to the current date and ’$D{}’ to the input file’s last modification date.
|
%E ($E) |

|
%W ($W) |
current date (file modification date) in ’mm/dd/yy’ format |
All format directives except ’$=’ can also be given in format
escape width directive
where width specifies the width of the column to which the escape is printed. For example, escape "$5%" will expand to something like " 12". If the width is negative, the value will be printed left-justified.
For example, the ’emacs.hdr’ defines its date string with the following format comment:
%Format: eurdatestr %E
which expands to:
/eurdatestr (96/01/08) def
%HeaderHeight: height
Allocate height points space for the page header. The default header height is 36 points.
%FooterHeight: height
Allocate height points space for the page footer. The default footer height is 0 points.
According to Adobe’s Document Structuring Conventions (DSC), all resources needed by a document must be listed in document’s prolog. Since user’s can create their own headers, enscript don’t know what resources those headers use. That’s why all headers must contain a standard DSC comment that lists all needed resources. For example, used fonts can be listed with following comment:
%%DocumentNeededResources: font fontname1 fontname2
Comment can be continued to the next line with the standard continuation comment:
%%+ font fontname3
Enscript supports special escape sequences which can be used to add some page formatting commands to ASCII documents. As a default, special escapes interpretation is off, so all ASCII files print out as everyone expects. Special escapes interpretation is activated by giving option −e, −−escapes to enscript.
All special escapes start with the escape character. The default escape character is ^@ (octal 000); escape character can be changed with option −e, −−escapes. Escape character is followed by escape’s name and optional options and arguments.
Currently enscript supports following escapes:
|
bggray |
change the text background color. Escape’s syntax is: |
^@bggray{gray}
where gray is the new text background gray value. The default value is 1.0 (white).
|
color |
change the text color. Escape’s syntax is: |
^@color{red green blue}
where color components red, green and blue are given as a decimal numbers between 0 and 1.
|
comment |
comment the rest of the line including the newline character. Escape’s syntax is: |
^@comment text newline_character
|
escape |
change the escape character. Escape’s syntax is |
^@escape{code}
where code is the decimal code of the new escape character.
|
epsf |
inline EPS file to the document. Escape’s syntax is: |
^@epsf[options]{filename}
where options is an optional sequence of option characters and values enclosed with brackets and filename is the name of the EPS file.
If filename ends to the ’|’ character, then filename is assumed to name a command that prints EPS data to its standard output. In this case, enscript opens a pipe to the specified command and reads EPS data from pipe.
Following options can be given for the epsf escape:
|
c |
print image centered | ||
|
r |
print image right justified | ||
|
n |
do not update current point. Following output is printed to that position where the current point was just before the epsf escape | ||
|
nx |
do not update current point x coordinate | ||
|
ny |
do not update current point y coordinate | ||
|
xnum |
move image’s top left x coordinate num characters from current point x coordinate (relative position) | ||
|
xnuma |
set image’s top left x coordinate to column num (absolute position) | ||
|
ynum |
move image’s top left y coordinate num lines from current line (relative position) | ||
|
ynuma |
set image’s top left y coordinate to line num (absolute position) | ||
|
hnum |
set image’s height to num lines | ||
|
snum |
scale image with factor num | ||
|
sxnum |
scale image in x direction with factor num | ||
|
synum |
scale image in y direction with factor num |
As a default, all dimensions are given in lines (vertical) and characters (horizontal). You can also specify other units by appending an unit specifier after number. Possible unit specifiers and the corresponding units are:
|
c |
centimeters |
|||
|
i |
inches |
|||
|
l |
lines or characters (default) |
|||
|
p |
PostScript points |
For example to print an image one inch high, you can specify height by following options: h1i (1 inch), h2.54c (2.54 cm), h72p (72 points).
|
font |
select current font. Escape’s syntax is: |
^@font{fontname}
where fontname is a standard font specification. Special font specification default can be used to select the default body font (enscript’s default or the one specified by the command line option −f, −−font).
|
ps |
include raw PostScript code to the output. Escape’s syntax is: |
^@ps{code}
|
shade |
highlight regions of text by changing the text background color. Escape’s syntax is: |
^@shade{gray}
where gray is the new text background gray value. The default value is 1.0 (white) which disables highlighting.
Page device is a PostScript level 2 feature that offers an uniform interface to control printer’s output device. Enscript protects all page device options inside an if block so they have no effect in level 1 interpreters. Although all level 2 interpreters support page device, they do not have to support all page device options. For example some printers can print in duplex mode and some can not. Refer to the documentation of your printer for supported options.
Here are some
usable page device options which can be selected with the
−D, −−setpagedevice option.
For a complete listing, see PostScript Language Reference
Manual: section 4.11 Device Setup.
Collate boolean
how output is organized when printing multiple copies
Duplex boolean
duplex (two side) printing
ManualFeed boolean
manual feed paper tray
OutputFaceUp boolean
print output ’face up’ or ’face down’
Tumble boolean
how opposite sides are positioned in duplex printing
Following
printing examples assume that enscript uses the
default configuration. If default actions have been changed
from the configuration files, some examples will behave
differently.
enscript foo.txt
Print file foo.txt to the default printer.
enscript −Possu foo.txt
Print file foo.txt to printer ossu.
enscript −pfoo.ps foo.txt
Print file foo.txt, but leave PostScript output to file foo.ps.
enscript −2 foo.txt
Print file foo.txt to two columns.
enscript −2r foo.txt
Print file to two columns and rotate output 90 degrees (landscape).
enscript −DDuplex:true foo.txt
Print file in duplex (two side) mode (printer dependant).
enscript −G2rE −U2 foo.c
My default code printing command: gaudy header, two columns, landscape, code highlighting, 2-up printing.
enscript −E −−color −Whtml −−toc -pfoo.html *.h *.c
A nice HTML report of your project’s C source files.
The environment
variable ENSCRIPT can be used to pass default options
for enscript. For example, to select the default body
font to be Times−Roman 7pt, set the following value to
the ENSCRIPT environment variable:
−fTimes−Roman7
The value of the ENSCRIPT variable is processed before the command line options, so command line options can be used to overwrite these defaults.
Variable ENSCRIPT_LIBRARY specifies the enscript’s library directory. It can be used to overwrite the build-in default ’/usr/share/enscript’.
Enscript returns value 1 to the shell if any errors were encountered. On successfull termination, the return code is constucted from the following flags:
|
0 |
no errors or warnings |
|||
|
2 |
some lines were truncated or wrapped |
|||
|
4 |
some characters were missing from the used fonts |
|||
|
8 |
some characters were unprintable |
