# tagtest(8)

HylaFAX tag line testing program

## NAME

tagtest - *HylaFAX* tag line testing program

## SYNOPSIS

**/usr/sbin/tagtest** \[ *options* \] input.tif

## DESCRIPTION

*tagtest* is a program for testing the \`\`tag line'' support in the *HylaFAX* server. *tagtest* takes a TIFF/F (TIFF Class F) file and generates a new TIFF/F file that is a copy of the input file, but with sample tag lines imaged across the top of each page. Options are provided for specifying  a tag line format string and a tag line font file. If neither are specified, then *tagtest* will use builtin defaults. *tagtest* is designed for testing tag line format strings and fonts before they are configured for use by the facsimile server.

## OPTIONS

- **-f** *file*

  Image the tag line format string using the Portable Compiled Font (PCF) in *file*. By default *tagtest* looks for the font file **fixed.pcf**.

- **-m** *format*

  Use *format* when imaging tag lines. If this option is not specified, then *tagtest* uses the format string \`\`From %%n\|%c\|Page %%p of %%t''.

- **-o** *file*

  Write output to *file*. By default output is written to the file **t.tif**.
