+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B psnup
+[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR...] \fI\,-NUP \/\fR[\fI\,INFILE \/\fR[\fI\,OUTFILE\/\fR]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Put multiple pages of a PostScript document on to one page.
+.TP
+\fB\-NUMBER\fR
+number of pages to impose on each output page
+.TP
+\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-paper\fR=\fI\,PAPER\/\fR
+output paper name or dimensions
+.TP
+\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-inpaper\fR=\fI\,PAPER\/\fR
+input paper name or dimensions
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-margin\fR=\fI\,DIMENSION\/\fR
+width of margin around each output page
+[default 0pt]; useful for thumbnail sheets,
+as the original page margins will be shrunk
+.TP
+\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-border\fR=\fI\,DIMENSION\/\fR
+width of border around each input page
+.TP
+\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-draw\fR[=\fI\,DIMENSION\/\fR]
+draw a line of given width around each page
+[relative to input page size; argument defaults to
+1pt; default is no line]
+.TP
+\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-rotatedleft\fR
+input pages are rotated left 90 degrees
+.TP
+\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-rotatedright\fR
+input pages are rotated right 90 degrees
+.TP
+\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-flip\fR
+swap output pages' width and height
+.TP
+\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-transpose\fR
+swap columns and rows (column\-major order)
+.TP
+\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-tolerance\fR=\fI\,NUMBER\/\fR
+maximum wasted area in square pt [default: 100,000]
+.TP
+\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR
+don't show page numbers being output
+.TP
+\fB\-\-help\fR
+display this help and exit
+.TP
+\fB\-\-version\fR
+display version information and exit
+.PP
+psnup aborts with an error if it cannot arrange the input pages so as to
+waste less than the given tolerance.
+.PP
+The output paper size defaults to the input paper size; if that is not given,
+the default given by the `paper' command is used.
+.PP
+The input paper size defaults to the output paper size.
+.PP
+In row\-major order (the default), adjacent pages are placed in rows across
+the paper; in column\-major order, they are placed in columns down the page.
+.PP
+.B Psnup
+uses
+.B Pstops
+to impose multiple logical pages on to each physical sheet of paper.
+.PP
+Paper sizes can be given either as a name (see
+.BR paper(1) )
+or as \fBwidth\fRx\fBheight\fR (see
+.BR psutils (1)
+for the available units).
+
+.SS "Exit status:"
+.TP
+0
+if OK,
+.TP
+1
+if arguments or options are incorrect, or there is some other problem
+starting up,
+.TP
+2
+if there is some problem during processing, typically an error reading or
+writing an input or output file.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The potential use of this utility is varied but one particular
+use is in conjunction with
+.BR psbook (1).
+For example, using groff to create a PostScript document and lpr as
+the
+.SM UNIX
+print spooler a typical command line might look like this:
+.sp
+groff -Tps -ms \fIfile\fP | psbook | psnup -2 | lpr
+.sp
+where file is a 4 page document this command will result in a
+two page document printing two pages of \fIfile\fP per page and
+rearranges the page order to match the input pages 4 and 1
+on the first output page and
+pages 2 then 3 of the input document
+on the second output page.
