Debug options

The `-d' flag to Dvips helps in tracking down certain errors. The parameter to this flag is an integer that tells what errors are currently being tracked. To track a certain class of debug messages, simply provide the appropriate number given below; if you wish to track multiple classes, sum the numbers of the classes you wish to track. To track all classes, you can use -1. Another useful value is 3650, which tracks everything having to do with file searching and opening.

Some of these debugging options are actually provided by Kpathsea (see section `Debugging' in Kpathsea).

The classes are:

1
specials
2

4
fonts
