💖 XREADER — a document viewer, but make it ✨aesthetic✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to read the manual page for xreader from the General Commands Manual section of the manual, and honestly? it's giving "underrated icon." 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Xreader — a whole Document Viewer 💅 like, it views documents. that's the vibe. that's the whole thing.

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

xreader [OPTIONS...] [FILES...]

that's it. that's the group chat invite. options then files. slay.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Xreader is a simple multi-page document viewer. lowkey humble, highkey capable. it can display and print:

  • PostScript (PS)
  • Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
  • DJVU
  • DVI
  • XPS
  • Portable Document Format (PDF)

like hello?? the range?? 🔥

and when the document actually supports it, it also lets you:

  • search for text 🔍
  • copy text to the clipboard 📋
  • do hypertext navigation 🧭
  • use table-of-contents bookmarks 📑

this manual page briefly documents the xreader command. briefly. it's a little summary, not the whole lore, iykyk.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • filename(s)... — specifies the file to open when xreader starts. if you don't give it one, xreader will start with a blank window and you can open a file from the menu or with the shortcut CTRL+O. multiple files can be loaded if they're separated by spaces. and yes bestie, xreader also supports handling of remote files. 🌈
  • -p, --page-label=PAGE — here you can specify a page label. this page will be selected in the document if it exists. ✨
  • -i, --page-index=NUMBER — here you can specify a page number. this page will be selected in the document if it exists. 🎀
  • -f, --fullscreen — start xreader in fullscreen mode. 👑 you must specify a document to start in fullscreen mode. no document, no fullscreen, that's the rule fr fr.
  • -s, --presentation — start xreader in presentation mode. 🎤 you must specify a document to start in presentation mode. main character energy requires a document, periodt.
  • -w, --preview — start xreader in preview mode. 🙈 you must specify a document to start in preview mode. same energy, different mode.
  • --display=DISPLAY — X display to use. that's the whole description. it's a display. for X. 🖥️
  • --version — output version information and exit. short, sweet, iconic. ⭐
  • -?, -h, --help — print standard command line options. three ways to ask for help because we're inclusive. 🫶
  • --help-all — print all command line options. the extended cut. the director's commentary. 💜
also this program accepts the standard GTK options. so like, if you know GTK, you already know. iykyk. 🧚

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

the moment you've been waiting for, bestie. real commands, real vibes:

xreader --preview ~/Desktop/stuff.ps

open stuff.ps from the current user's desktop, in preview mode. ✨

xreader -i 2 -s ./document.pdf

open document.pdf from the current working directory, on page 2, in presentation mode. 🎀
