jmpost [OPTION]... [MPNAME[.mp]] [COMMANDS]

jmpost [OPTION]... FIRST-LINE

jmpost [OPTION]... &MEM ARGS

Run jMetaPost on MPNAME, usually creating MPNAME.NNN (and perhaps MPNAME.tfm), where NNN are the character numbers generated. Any remaining COMMANDS are processed as jMetaPost input, after MPNAME is read. If the first line of MPNAME is %&MEM, and MEM is an existing .mem file, use it; %&ini means inimp. Else use `NAME.mem', where NAME is the program invocation name, most commonly `jmpost'.

Alternatively, if the first non-option argument begins with a backslash, interpret all non-option arguments as a line of jMetaPost input.

Alternatively, if the first non-option argument begins with a &, the next word is taken as the MEM to read, overriding all else. Any remaining arguments are processed as above.

If no arguments or options are specified, prompt for input.

-ini be inijmpost, for dumping mems; this is implicitly

true if the program name is `inijmpost'

-interaction=STRING set interaction mode (STRING=batchmode/nonstopmode/

scrollmode/errorstopmode)

-kpathsea-debug=NUMBER set path searching debugging flags according to

the bits of NUMBER

-mem=MEMNAME use MEMNAME instead of program name or a %& line -progname=STRING set program (and mem) name to STRING -T, -troff set the prologues variable, use `makempx -troff' -help display this help and exit -version output version information and exit
