miktex-dvicopy

## Name

miktex-dvicopy — produce modified copy of DVI file

## Synopsis

`miktex-dvicopy` [`option`...] `indvi` `outdvi`

## Description

This man page is an adaption of the corresponding TeX Live man page.

miktex-dvicopy reads a DVI file, expands any references to virtual fonts to base fonts, and writes the resulting DVI file. Thus you can use virtual fonts even if your DVI processor does not support them, by passing the documents through miktex-dvicopy first.

## Options

`--alias=`name``

  Pretend to be program `name`, i.e., set program (and memory dump) name to `name`. This may affect the search paths and other values used. Using this option is equivalent to copying the program file to ``name`` and invoking ``name``.

`--disable-installer`

  Disable automatic installation of packages. Specifying this option overrules settings in the MiKTeX configuration data store.

`--enable-installer`

  Enable automatic installation of packages. Specifying this option overrules settings in the MiKTeX configuration data store.

`--help`

  Give help and exit.

`--hhelp`

  This option is only available on Windows systems: show the manual page in an HTML Help window and exit when the window is closed.

`--include-directory=`dir``

  Add the directory `dir` to the head of the list of directories to be searched for input files.

`--mag=`mag``

  Override existing magnification with `mag`.

`--max-pages=`n``

  Process `n` pages; default one million. This option cannot be used together with `--select`.

`--page-start=`pagespec``

  Start at `page-spec`, for example 2 or 5.*.-2. This option cannot be used together with `--select`.

`--record-package-usages=`file``

  Record all package usages and write them into `file`.

`--select=`sel``

  Select pages to be copied.

  The syntax for `sel` is: ``start` [`n`]`, where `start` is the starting page specification (for example `2` or `5.*.-2`) and `n` (optional) is the maximum number of pages to be copied.

  You can use up to `10` `--select` options. This option cannot be used together with `--max-pages` or `--page-start`.

`--trace[=`tracestreams`]`

  Enable trace messages. The `tracestreams` argument, if specified, is a comma-separated list of trace stream names (Chapter 9, Trace Streams).

`--version`

  Show version information and exit.

## Environment

`MIKTEX_TRACE`

  Comma-separated list of trace stream names (see Chapter 9, Trace Streams). If this variable is set, then MiKTeX programs will write trace messages into the configured log sink.
