Binaries/printfile

the printfile binary is part of the "devlib" program and used to print a file,

what does it do?

it takes your file, runs it trough "dev.prepfile" to cut every line longer then 25 characters to the next line, ensuring your page is not to wide

it then pushes this file to "dev.printfile" wich splits the file into pages and presents it to the printer for print.

while it does print every single character in the file, the formatting can get very weird, it is best to print suitable files.

the title argument tells the program how to name the prints.

usage:

printfile filename title

output:

splits the file into pages and prints these pages on an available printer.

eg:

"printfile /etc/man/apt.man" - prints the apt manual
