NAME

       fimgs - poor man's [http://]PostScript/pdf/dvi/cbr/rar/cbz/zip viewer based on fim

SYNOPSIS

       fimgs [ {fimgs-options} ] file [-- [{fim-options}]]

DESCRIPTION

       fimgs  is a wrapper script which takes a PostScript or pdf or .cbr or .rar or .cbz or .zip or .dvi or any
       of the above prefixed with http:// or https:// or ssh: as input, renders the pages using ghostscript into
       a temporary directory and finally calls  fim to display them.

       In case of compressed archives (in ZIP or RAR formats), the images are decompressed into a directory  and
       displayed  using   fim.   In this case, only images contained in the archive will be displayed (no nested
       archives or pdf's or ps's or dvi's).

       The temporary directory name will be of the form $TMPDIR/fbps-$$.  If the $TMPDIR environment variable is
       unset, /dev/shm and /var/tmp will be checked for existence and permissions.  The $$ above is  the  script
       process ID.  The script deletes the temporary directory when  fim terminates.

       In order to uncompress RAR archives, fimgs will use 'unrar-nonfree' or 'rar' or 'unrar-free'.

       In order to uncompress ZIP archives, fimgs will use 'zip'.

       In order to uncompress BZ2 files, 'bunzip2' will be used, if present.

       In order to uncompress TAR.GZ or TAR.BZ2 or TAR.XZ archives, fimgs will use 'tar'.

       In order to fetch http:// or https:// prefixed URLS, 'wget' will be used, if present.

       In order to fetch ssh: prefixed host:path locations, 'scp' will be used.

       In case of a CBZ, CBR, PDF, PS, or DVI file, will invoke  fim with '--autotop --autowidth'.

OPTIONS

       To pass through options to  fim, you may specify them after "--".

       Default options are '--autozoom'.

       -r {resolution} Specify resolution for the 'gs' -r option (e.g.: 96x96; default 120x120).

       -p {password}
              Specify password for the 'gs' -p (password) option.
