| Chapter 6. Programs |

## Name

dvicopy — produce modified copy of DVI file

## Synopsis

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

## Description

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 dvicopy first.

## Options

`--alias=`app``

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

`--disable-installer`

  Disable automatic installation of missing packages. Specifying this option overwrites the global configuration setting in MiKTeX Options (see the section called “Automatic Package Installation”).

`--disable-pipes`

  Disable input (output) from (to) child processes.

`--enable-installer`

  Enable automatic installation of missing packages. Specifying this option overwrites the global configuration setting in MiKTeX Options (see the section called “Automatic Package Installation”).

`--enable-pipes`

  Enable input (output) from (to) child processes.

`--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``

  Prefix `dir` to the search path.

`--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=`page-spec``

  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 speciefied, is a comma-separated list of trace stream names (Chapter 9, Trace Streams).

`--version`

  Show version information and exit.
