.St -p1003.2

|
|
|

|
|
|
|

The

|
|

command is expected to comply with the
|

|
.St -p1003.2

.Sh BUGS
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.St -p1003.2
|
|
|
|
|
specification does not provide any means to print non-text files. It
|
|
|
|
|
rather requires the files to be printed to be text files limited to
|
|
|
|
|
reasonable line lengths and printable characters.
