Fax Display and Edit Utility: Supershow (ss)
November 2009 415
Fax Display and Edit Utility: Supershow (ss)
Displays a fax file on screen for viewing and editing. Editing options
include scaling, rotating, and reversing video.
Note: Supershow does not scale images automatically to maintain
aspect ratios or to fit images on the screen. Each pixel in the
file corresponds to one pixel on the screen. Supershow does
support manual scaling with the commands described on the
help screen.
To see a complete list of arguments and display options, type ss
without any arguments at the system prompt. To access the
Supershow help screen, which lists movement and display
commands, press the? key during a fax display.
Note: The Bfv API does not provide this utility under Solaris. The
version of this utility supplied for UnixWare will not run under
X Windows.
Supershow automatically determines the adapter type, so the -h and
other display-related arguments are optional on all environments.
Use these arguments to select a display mode that differs from the
default for the current adapter type.
All arguments are optional, except -i.
