DVICONCAT(1)

✨ DVICONCAT(1) ✨ General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, let's talk about dviconcat, the tool that's literally all about smooshing DVI files together 🫶

🎀 NAME 🎀

dviconcat - concatenate DVI files 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dviconcat [ -m magnification ] [ -o outfile ] list of files

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so dviconcat takes all the files you name and concatenates them into one. no names given? it reads from standard input instead 🙈 the result goes to standard output, or to the file you pick with -o. ngl it's giving main character energy because the new DVI file works with any of the TeX conversion programs, and even with dviconcat itself 🔥

the magnification of the output file matches the first input file, unless you use the -m option to change it. and if dviconcat ends up changing the magnification of any input file, it'll print a warning to let you know 🚨 no sneaky changes here, periodt ✨

🙈 BUGS 🙈

the program should be called dvicat, but that name was already taken 💀 by the driver for the C/A/T typesetter. the vibes were a little bit cursed, not gonna lie 😭
