OPTIONS]

OPTIONS
- -h, --help

display this help and exit
- -v, --version

- -n, --no-fix
-

- -c, --check, --dry-run

don't perform any action
Fixes:
-
- Remove junk before and after PostScript content
- Use only Unix end of lines (\n)
- Remove empty lines
- Fix Apple prologue (fixmacps)
- Fix FrameMaker prologue (fixfmps)
- Fix CorelDraw prologue (fixnt)
- Fix Windows NT 3.5/4.0 prologue (fixnt)
- Fix Windows 95 prologue
- Ensure there is a `%%BeginSetup/%%EndSetup' section
- Removes Canvas' extraneaous `%%EndDocument:' comments
- Split too long lines
If the FILE seems really in a bad state, ghostscript may be used to perform
a full rewrite. The output might then be significantly bigger, but much
safer.
