<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>The <command>dthelpprint</command> utility is a private utility used
by &cdeman.DtHelpDialog; and &cdeman.DtHelpQuickDialog;
for printing Help information. It is not a public utility, and no effort to
maintain backwards compatibility will be made across versions. That said,
it is sometimes useful to use <command>dthelpprint</command> directly and
to configure its operation.</para>
<para>The <command>dthelpprint</command> utility processes help topics and
can send the output to a printer or to a specified output file.
The <command>dthelpprint</command> utility is an integral part of the CDE Help System.
Access to <command>dthelpprint</command> is provided by the &cdeman.dthelpview;
client's Print dialog, an application's Help window, or through
a utility line shell.</para>
<para>The <command>dthelpprint</command> utility can print plain text strings,
plain text files, Unix man pages, and CDE Help volumes. CDE Help volumes are
printed without any graphics, and there is no indication of missing graphics.
The standard <Filename MoreInfo="RefEntry">man</Filename>(1) and &cdeman.dthelpview;
search paths are used to find manual pages and CDE Help volumes; Help volumes
and files may be specified with an absolute pathname.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>OPTIONS</title>
<para>The <command>dthelpprint</command> utility has two sets of utility line
options. The first set controls what should be printed. The second set controls
how it should be printed. All option names must be used exactly as given.
An alternative to specifying options on the utility line is to specify them
using resources in an app-defaults file. This is useful for changing the default
values from those given below. See the <literal>RESOURCE OVERVIEW</literal>
heading in this manual page for more information.</para>
<para>Options controlling what to print:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term><literal>&minus;helpType</literal> <symbol role="Variable">type</symbol></term>
<listitem>
<para>The type of Help data to print. This is a numeric value, as follows:

<listitem>

If <symbol role="Variable">volume</symbol> is unqualified, the standard &cdeman.dthelpview;
search paths are used to locate the volume; these are also covered in the
<literal>ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES</literal> heading in this manual page. The volume may
also be specified relative to the current directory by beginning the volume
name with "./" or "../". This option is useful only in conjunction with a
<literal>&minus;helpType</literal> of 0 (zero).</para>

<title>RESOURCE OVERVIEW</title>
<para>The <command>dthelpprint</command> utility uses resources in addition
to utility-line options to configure its operation. There are many more resources
available for this purpose than utility-line options. To set a resource on
the utility line, use the <literal>&minus;xrm</literal> option.</para>
<para>The application class is <command>dthelpprint</command> unless specified
otherwise with the <systemitem class="resource">application.class</systemitem> or
<systemitem class="resource">Application.Class</systemitem> resource or the
<literal>&minus;class</literal> option. The application
instance name is the name used to run the program (usually <command>dthelpprint</command>)
unless specified otherwise with the <systemitem class="resource">application.class</systemitem> or
<systemitem class="resource">Application.Class</systemitem> resource
or the <literal>&minus;name</literal> option. In the following coverage of resource specifications,
the application's class name and instance name can be used interchangably;
however, if the same resource is specified more than once, the instance-specific
resource takes precedence over the class resource. In addition, when a value
can be specified using either a resource or utility-line option, the utility-line
option value takes precedence.</para>
<para>The <command>dthelpprint</command> utility has three types of resources.
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term>Help Content</term>
<listitem>
<para>These resoures specify what to print. Typically, these values are specified
using utility-line options instead of resources.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>Content Processing</term>
<listitem>
<para>These resources specify in more detail the configuration of how to print.
These resources include some values that can be specified with utility-line
options, but also many others.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>Printer Configuration:</term>
<listitem>
<para>The <command>dthelpprint</command> utility allows printer-specific configurations
to be specified. The configuration used is controlled by the value of the
<systemitem class="resource">printer</systemitem> resource or
<literal>&minus;printer</literal> option.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

<para>These resources specify what to print. The syntax for specifying the
resources is</para>
