Subject: tetex-bin: epstopdf manpage, options filter/outfile are wrongly described
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 14:30:01 +0200
Message-Id: <E19AUFF-0007EP-00@sh24593.sh.de.bosch.com>
X-Mailer: bug 3.3.10.1
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-8
Severity: normal
Hello!
the epstopdf manpage is not consistent with the behaviour of epstopdf
w.r.t. the options --outfile and --filter.
The description of '--outfile' implies that epstopdf always writes to
standard output when this options is not given. But with no options,
i.e. 'epstopdf xy.ps', epstopdf does _not_ write to standard output
but to xy.pdf.
The '--filter' option not only makes epstopdf read from standard input,
but also makes it write to stdout.
Thus a correct description of the options could be, with --filter
first!:
--[no]filter
read standard input, write to standard output
(default: --nofilter).
--outfile=file
when --filter ist given, write result to file instead of
standard output.
