vdoc(1)
NAME
  vdoc - invokes CDA Viewer for character-cell displays

SYNOPSIS
  vdoc [-f format] [-O options_file] [-r] [-w paper_width] [-h paper_height]
  [-p] inputfile

OPTIONS
  -f format
      Specifies the format of inputfile and invokes an appropriate input
      converter. The DDIF, DTIF, and Text input converters are provided by
      the Tru64 UNIX system. You can add additional converters by purchasing
      layered products. Contact your system manager for a complete list of
      the input formats supported on your system. The default format is DDIF.

  -O options_file
      Names the file passed to the input converter to control specific
      processing options in that converter. Refer to your documentation set
      for a description of converter options.

      The options file has a default file type of .cda_options.	 Each line of
      the options file specifies a format name that can optionally be
      followed by _input or _output to restrict the option to either an input
      or output converter. The second word is a valid option preceded by one
      or more spaces, tabs, or a slash (/) and can contain upper- and
      lowercase letters, numbers, dollar signs, and underlines.	 The case of
      letters is not significant. If an option requires a value, then spaces,
      tabs, or an equal sign can separate the option from the value.

      You can precede any line by spaces and tabs. To terminate a line, use
      any character other than those used to specify the format names and
      options.	The syntax and interpretation of the text that follows the
      format name is specified by the supplier of the front and back end
      converters for the specified format.

      To specify several options for the same input or output format, specify
      one option on a line. If an invalid option for an input or output
      format or an invalid value for an option is specified, the option may
      be ignored or an error message may be returned. Each input or output
      format that supports processing options specifies any restrictions or
      special formats required when specifying options.

      By default, any messages that occur during processing of the options
      file are written to the system standard error location. For those input
      formats that support a LOG option, messages can be directed to a log
      file.

  -r  Specifies that the CDA Viewer is to override the format of the
      document. If the -r qualifier is not specified, the CDA Viewer retains
      the formatting information stored in the document.

  -w paper_width
      Specifies the paper width in units of characters. The -w qualifier
      always specifies the fallback formatted document page width to be used
      when the -r (override format) qualifier is specified or when the
      document has no inherent format. When used with the -p (page mode)
      qualifier, the display page width is determined from the terminal and
      is unrelated to the formatted page width. In nonpage mode, the
      specified -w value is used for both fallback document page width and
      the display page width. If the -w qualifier is not specified, the
      default width is 80 characters.

  -h paper_height
      Specifies the paper height in units of characters. The -h qualifier
      always specifies the fallback formatted document page height to be used
      when the -r (override format) qualifier is specified or when the
      document has no inherent format. When used with the -p (page mode)
      qualifier, the display page height is determined from the terminal and
      is unrelated to the formatted page height. In nonpage mode, the
      specified -h value is used for both fallback document page height and
      the display page height. If the -h qualifier is not specified, the
      default height is dependent on the document.

  -p  Specifies that the CDA Viewer is to pause after displaying each page.
      The user can also page backward and go directly to the top or bottom of
      the document. If the -p qualifier is not specified, the CDA Viewer
      displays each page without pausing.

DESCRIPTION
  The vdoc command invokes the CDA Viewer that enables you to view inputfile
  on a character-cell terminal.	 If inputfile is not specified, vdoc reads
  from the standard input.
