Reverses the page order of a PostScript file and selects a page range for printing.
Syntax
Description
The psrev command reverses the page order of the file specified by the File variable and prints the pages specified by the Pagespec parameter. The file must conform to PostScript file structuring conventions. If no value for the File is specified, the psrev command reads from standard input. The psrev command writes the resulting file to the standard output.
