✨ DVITOMP(1) ✨

okay bestie, listen up — this is a General Commands Manual page for dvitomp, and we're gonna make it make sense. no cap. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

dvitomp — convert a TeX DVI file to a MetaPost MPXFILE

like literally that's the whole vibe. DVI in, MPXFILE out. iconic behavior. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dvitomp [OPTIONS] dvifile[.dvi] [mpxfile[.mpx]]

mpost --dvitomp dvifile[.dvi] [mpxfile[.mpx]]

two ways to run it, bestie. either you call dvitomp directly, or you let mpost do it with the --dvitomp flag. both slay. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea. dvitomp translates the given dvifile into a MetaPost MPXFILE. that's it. that's the job. 🫶

and the default mpxfile? it's the basename of dvifile extended with .mpx. so if you don't name your output file, it just does the obvious thing. lowkey thoughtful of it. 💜

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -help — write usage summary and exit. basically it tells you how to use it and then dips. 🙈
  • -version — output version information and exit. it shows you its version and then leaves the chat. ✨

💀 BUGS 💀

found a bug? no worries, just email bug reports to metapost@tug.org. they wanna know. fr fr. 🐛

and that's the whole page, bestie. this was from <strong>Web2C 2025</strong>, dated <strong>16 June 2015</strong> — yes, the date is giving time capsule, but the facts are still facts. 💅
