-function does
not appear to be "officially
documented"
so I don
't want
to remove the warning from below
. However over at [zevils|http://www.zevils.com/cgi-bin/man/man2html?dviprint+
1] I've seen
the following man page for this function
:
+This program is
not documented by the authors
so [Debian] uses undocumented(2) for it. It doesn
't appear
to be very successful program either
. It is very similar to dvips(
1) (which works nicely) except that it appears to ignore any configuration that dvips(1) may have. From
the script
:
-!!NAME
-dviprint - dvipsR wrapper for LyX
-!!SYNOPSIS
-dviprint [[<dvips arguments>]
-!!DESCRIPTION
-dviprint is
a wrapper around dvips(1) that adjusts the destination
file and printer arguments (-o and -P) to handle variations in install configurations (e. g., whether
dvips sends its output directly to a printer or writes to a file). It is part
of the Debian packaging
of the LyX editor
.

a dvi
file using

-This doesn't appear to be a very successful program however. It
