The name of the file to be displayed. The file ending ".ps" may be omitted. "filename" may point to a compressed file (gzipped, zipped or compressed). Viewing PDF files requires at least ghostscript version 4.x.
Read and use additional resources from the file <resource file>. These resources have higher priority than those provided in the context of the -style <resource file> option.
Whether to use antialiasing.
Start ghostscript with additional options as specified by the string <arguments>.
Whether the page should be centered automatically.
Sets the resolution to <dpi> dots per inch.
Determines if document structuring convention (DSC) comments should be respected or ignored. If -nodsc is used gv will not attempt to examine the structure of the document but will pass the file to the ghostscript interpreter as a whole. In this case no page numbers are shown and freely moving around in the document is not possible. This option may help when viewing files not conforming to the document structuring conventions.
Defines the behaviour of the postscript scanner used to examine the structure of the document. If -noeof is used the scanner will ignore end of file (EOF) comments. This may help when viewing documents which import other documents without enclosing them within the proper "BeginDocument" and "EndDocument" comments. If -eof is used, the scanner treats an EOF comment as marking the end of the file.
Display a short help message and exit.
Display a more explicit help message and exit.
Sets the magstep to <n>. <n> must be an integer in the range of allowed magsteps.
Sets the color palette to be used.
Display the page with label <label> first.
Sets the paper-size. Valid values for <paper-size> are:

Sets the orientation.
Whether to start ghostscript with the -dQUIET option.
Whether gv is allowed to automatically fit the size of its window to the size of the displayed page.
Whether to start ghostscript with the -dSAFER option.
This is a shortcut for "-style gv_spartan.dat".
Read and use additional resources from the file <resource file>. These resources have lower priority than those provided in the context of the -ad <resource file> option.
Whether to interchange the meaning of the orientations landscape and seascape.
The -watch option causes gv to check the document periodically. If changes are detected gv will automatically display the newer version of the file. The document is by default checked once every second. This can be changed via the watchFileFrequency resource. Note that sending gv the SIGHUP signal also causes an update of the displayed document. This method may be used by document creators to trigger gv remotely.
Sets the horizontal, vertical resolution to <dpi> dots per inch.
