.SH DESCRIPTION
.B vtprtoff
is a simple program that turns off (or on) redirection of ASCII text to
a printer connected to a
terminal or terminal emulator. It uses terminal escape sequences to
achieve this end.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-d
Use the tty device file instead of stdout for output. This is defined as
.B DEVTTY
on this system. (This is operating system specific and may vary from system to
system.)
.TP
.B \-D
Use the stdout stream for output, rather than a tty device file.
.TP
.B \-e
Forces \fBvtprtoff\fP to ignore the TERM environment variable and use
the builtin control codes instead.
.TP
.B \-E
Undoes the effect of the \fB\-e\fP option, which allows \fBvtprtoff\fP to
attempt to find an entry in \fBLIBFILE\fP for the TERM value and use the
corresponding control codes.
.TP
.B \-h
Print out a simple usage message.
.TP
.B \-l
Print out the license agreement.
.TP
.BI \-L " vtprintcap"
Specifies an alternate file to use instead of \fBLIBFILE\fP.
.TP
.B \-q
Quiet mode. Suppress various status messages from being displayed.
.TP
.B \-Q
Cancels the effect of the \fB\-q\fP option, allowing normal progress
reporting to occur.
.TP
.B \-t
Force the use of the TERM variable to perform a look up of the control
sequences to be used in \fBLIBFILE\fP. If an entry in that file can't
be found, \fBvtprtoff\fP will abort with an error.
.TP
.BI \-T " termtype"
Use the value of \fItermtype\fP instead of the value of the TERM environment
variable when performing lookups in \fBLIBFILE\fP.
.TP
.B \-v
Display version information.
.TP
.BI \-V " device"
Specifies an alternate device file instead of \fBDEVTTY\fP to use.
.TP
.B \-w
Display important warranty waiver information. NO WARRANTY!
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.IP TERM
the type of the terminal
.B vtprtoff
will assume is being used.
.IP VTPRINT
string of options to be used by
.B vtprtoff.
