DESCRIPTION

Fbgs is a simple wrapper script which takes a PostScript (PS) or Portable Document Format (PDF) file as input, renders the pages using gs(1) - GhostScript - into a temporary directory and finally calls fbi(1) to display them.

-r n, --resolution n: To get the pages rendered with n dpi (overwrites fbi option).
-fp number, --firstpage number: Begins interpreting on the designated page of the document.
-lp number, --lastpage number: Stops interpreting after the designated page of the document.
