Signature

(pr-ps-buffer-preview N-UP &optional FILENAME)

Documentation

Preview buffer using ghostview.

Interactively, the command prompts for N-UP printing number and, when you use a prefix argument (C-u (universal-argument)), the command prompts the user for a file name, and saves the PostScript image in that file instead of saving it in a temporary file.

Noninteractively, if N-UP is nil, prompts for N-UP printing number. The argument FILENAME is treated as follows: if it's nil, save the image in a temporary file. If FILENAME is a string, save the PostScript image in a file with that name. If FILENAME is t, prompts for a file name.
