Description

The canonls command processes troff command output for the Canon LASER SHOT in LIPS III mode. This command is provided exclusively for Japanese language support.

The canonls command processes one or more files specified by the File parameter. If no file is specified, the canonls command reads from standard input.

The canonls command uses font files in the /usr/lib/font/devcanonls directory that have command names ending with .out. The canonls command does not produce correct output unless these files are provided.
