If no _

An argument consisting of a single minus (-
\b-) is taken to be
a file name corresponding to the standard input. The
options, which may appear in any order so long as they
appear before the files, are:
-

\bt Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the
comma-separated _

\bN-

\bM means pages _
\bN through _

the beginning to page _

resume when the typesetter's start button is pressed.
