Bug#700981: ghostscript: ps2??? stdin stdout



Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.05~dfsg-6.3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It would be nice if ps2epsi accepts stdin and stdout
for input and output.  For example,

  $ ps2epsi input.ps - | furtherprocess > result.eps

and

  $ generateps | ps2epsi - result.eps

I use ps2epsi as a filter but since it doesn't follow the
traditional Unix convention (make your command a filter
if it makes sense to do so), I have to write my own wrapper
to make it a filter.

Same applies to other ps2??? commands.

Cheers,
Ryo
