MAKEPSRES(1)					 MAKEPSRES(1)

NAME
       makepsres - Build PostScript resource database file.

SYNOPSIS
       makepsres [ options ] directory ...

DESCRIPTION
       makepsres  creates  PostScript  language resource database
       files.  Resource database files can be used to specify the
       location of resources that are used by the font selection
       panel and other Adobe software.	For a  complete descrip-
       tion  of the  resource location facilities in the Display
       PostScript system, see Appendix A and Appendix B of  "Dis-
       play  PostScript Toolkit for X" in Programming the Display
       PostScript System with X.

       makepsres creates a resource database file named PSres.upr
       that  contains all the resources in all the directory path
       names specified on the command line.

	  If the list of directories contains - , makepsres reads
	  from	stdin and expects a list of directories separated
	  by space, tab, or newline.

	  If the list of directories is empty, it is taken to  be
	  the current directory.

	  If all specified directories have a common initial pre-
	  fix, makepsres extracts it as a directory prefix in the
	  new resource database file.

       makepsres normally acts recursively; it looks for resource
       files in subdirectories of any specified directory.  This
       behavior can  be	 overridden with the command line option
       -nr.

       makepsres uses existing resource database files to  assist
       in  identifying files. By default, makepsres creates a new
       resource database file containing  all  of  the	following
       that apply:

	  Resource  files found in the directories on the command
	  line.

	  Resource files pointed  to  by  the  resource database
	  files in the directories on the command line.

	  Resource  entries  found in the input resource database
	  files. These entries are copied if the files they spec-
	  ify  still  exist  and  are  located in directories not
	  specified on the command line.

       If you run makepsres in discard mode (with the -d option),
       it  does not copy resource entries from the input resource
       database files. In that case,  the  output  file consists
       only  of entries from the directories on the command line.
       The input resource database files are only used to  assist
       in identifying files.

       If you run makepsres in keep mode (with the -k option), it
       includes in the output file all resource entries	 in  the
       input resource database files, even entries for files that
       no longer exist or are located in directories specified on
       the command line.

       makepsres  uses	various heuristics  to identify files. A
       file that is of a private resource type or that	does  not
       conform to the standard format for a resource file must be
       specified in one of the following ways:

	  By running makepsres in interactive mode

	  By preloading the file into a resource  database  file
	  used for input

	  By beginning the file with the following line:

	    %!PS-Adobe-3.0 Resource-<resource-type>

OPTIONS
       -o filename
	      Writes  the  output to the specified filename.  The
	      construction "-o -" writes to  stdout.  If  the  -o
	      option   is  not	specified,  makepsres  creates	a
	      PSres.upr file in the current directory and  writes
	      the output to that file.

       -f filename
	      Uses  information from the specified file to assist
	      in resource typing.  The file must be  in resource
	      database	file  format.  Multiple -f options may be
	      specified. The construction "-f -" uses stdin as an
	      input  file and may not be used if "-" is specified
	      as a directory on the command line.

       -dir dirname
	      Specifies that dirname is a directory. Needed  only
	      in  rare	cases  when dirname is the same as a com-
	      mand-line option such as -nb.

       -d     Specifies discard mode. The resulting  output  file
	      consists	solely of entries from the directories on
	      the command line.

       -e     Marks the resulting PSres.upr  file  as  exclusive.

	      This option makes the resource location library run
	      more quickly since it does not  have  to	look  for
	      other  resource  database files. It becomes neces-
	      sary,  however,  to  run	makepsres  whenever   new
	      resources are  added to the directory, even if the
	      resources come with  their  own  resource database
	      file.

       -i     Specifies interactive  mode.  In interactive mode,
	      you will be queried for the resource  type  of  any
	      encountered  file that  makepsres cannot identify.
	      If  -i  is  not  specified,  makepsres  assumes  an
	      unidentifiable file is not a resource file.

       -k     Specifies keep mode.

       -nb    If  the  output file already exists, do not back it
	      up.

       -nr    Specifies nonrecursive  mode.   makepsres normally
	      acts  recursively:  it  looks for resource files in
	      subdirectories of any specified directory.  If  -nr
	      is  used, makepsres does not look in subdirectories
	      for resource files.

       -p     Specifies no directory  prefix.	If  -p	is  used,
	      makepsres does  not try to find a common directory
	      prefix among the specified directories.

       -q     Quiet mode: ignores unidentifiable files instead of
	      warning about them.

       -s     Specifies strict	mode.	If -s is used, makepsres
	      terminates with an error if it encounters a file it
	      cannot identify.

EXAMPLES
       makepsres .
	      Creates  a resource database file that contains all
	      the resources in the current directory.

       makepsres -i -o local.upr /usr/local/lib/ps/fonts
	      Runs makepsres in interactive mode  and  creates	a
	      resource	database file named local.upr, which con-
	      tains  all   the	resources   in	the	directory
	      /usr/local/lib/ps/fonts.
