      NAME
           vplot - Versatec printer/plotter in plot mode

      DESCRIPTION
           /dev/vplot refers to Versatec printer/plotter in plot mode
           on the Versatec printer/plotter connector.

           When it is closed, bits written are printed and a page-eject
           is generated.

           Two ioctl(2) system calls are available:

                #include <sys/vprio.h>
                ioctl (fildes, command, arg)
                struct vprio *arg;

           The commands are:

                VPRGET   Get the current plotter parameters and store
                         in the vprio structure referenced by arg.

                VPRSET   Set the current plotter parameters from the
                         structure referenced by arg.

           Both these commands use the vprio structure, which includes
           the following fields:

                int  vp_version
                int  vp_mode

           The modes which may be set by the vp_mode field are:


                VPPRINT  Put the Versatec into print mode.

                VPPLOT   Put the Versatec into plot mode.
