	DVI (file format) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the TeX markup files used to generate them, DVI files are not intended to be human-readable; they consist of binary data describing the visual layout of a document in a manner not reliant on any specific image format, display hardware or printer (hence the DVI format's name).
		DVI is not a document encryption format, and TeX markup may be at least partially reverse-engineered from DVI files, although this process is unlikely to produce high-level constructs identical to those present in the original markup, especially if the original markup used high-level TeX extensions (e.g.
		Toward this end, a DVI file is a sequence of commands which form "a machine-like language", in Knuth's words.

	Intel DVI: Summary from the Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats
		DVI originated in 1984 at the David Sarnoff Research Center in Princeton, New Jersey, which was the central research facility for RCA Corporation.
		DVI is actually both the name of the Digital Video Interactive hardware system sold by Intel and the file format associated with that system.
		If the streams within a DVI file are organized as groups, then the StreamGroupCount value indicates the number of groups; the StreamGroupSize value specifies the size of each group; the StreamGroupOffset value points to the location of the first group; and the StreamGroupVersion specifies the format of the group.

	DVI Specification
		file is a stream of 8-bit bytes, which may be regarded as a series of commands in a machine-like language.
		format is intended to be both compact and easily interpreted by a machine.
		puts out four to seven of these trailing bytes, until the total length of the file is a multiple of four bytes, since this works out best on machines that pack four bytes per word; but any number of 223's is allowed, as long as there are at least four of them.

	TFM File Format
		files are compact, and most of the information they contain is highly relevant, so they provide a solution to the problem.

	SoundApp Formats
		AIFF is a very flexible file format, allowing the specification of arbitrary sampling rates, sample size, number of channels, and application-specific format chunks which can be ignored by other applications.
		It is a more complex format than the Series 3 audio file format and is based on their "Direct File Store" architecture.
		Compressed instruments have the same format as compressed SoundCap files, and uncompressed instruments are likewise similar to uncompressed SoundCap files, with the addition of an eight-byte header.

	Zoetrope - The DVI File Format
		A DVI file consists of a sequence of commands.
		As you can see, the DVI file starts with a preamble (the pre command), followed by one page (the bop command indicates the start of a page and the eop command indicates the end of a page).
		A DVI file is padded with four or more bytes with the value 223, until the length of the file is a multiple of four (but there will always be at least four bytes).

		When making a base file, a file containing modes for locally-available devices should be input after `plain.mf'.
		The typesetter output (a DVI file in the case of TeX, Ditroff output for Troff) is translated back to MetaPost, by DVItoMP (note dvitomp invocation::.) or DMP (note dmp invocation::.) respectively.
		Such problems may be caused by subtle differences in the file formats, such as use of tabs vs. spaces as field separators or decimal vs. octal vs. hex format for font metric data.

		These are the files used by Metafont to generate rastered fonts for specific typefaces at specific magnifications for the specific resolution and type of mapping used by your device.
		PK files are considerably smaller than the corresponding gf files, so they are generally the bitmap font format of choice.
		Since PK format is much more compact than GF format, the most likely reason to do this is to run GFtype (*note gftype invocation::) on the result, so you can see the bitmap images.

		When a font file is opened, a buffer is allocated to contain the entire file, and the file is then read with one system call.
		The additional memory required for the font file buffers amounts to 100K to 200K bytes (assuming the compact \fI\.pk\fP font file format), which is not excessive.
		Pages are processed in the order found in the DVI file; there is intentionally no attempt made to sort them according to the \\count0 values, since different macro packages may use this counter for different purposes, and in the case of floating tables and figures, the pages may not be in order anyway.

		Most operating systems permit random access to individual words or bytes of a file, so the DVI reader can start at the end and skip backwards over the 223's until finding the identification byte.
		Change to read: This curious way to finish off a DVI file makes it feasible for DVI-reading programs to find the postamble first, on most computers, even though TeX wants to write the postamble last.
		This modification to the DVI file format requires drivers to deal with this appropriately.

		The character-width data appears also in other files (e.g., in \.{GF} files that specify bit patterns for digitized characters); thus, it is usually possible for \.{DVI} reading programs to get by with accessing only one file per font.
		Font files should, however, contain exactly the same character width data that is found in the corresponding \.{TFM}s; check sums are used to help ensure this.
		In addition, font files usually also contain the widths of characters in pixels, since the device-independent character widths of \.{TFM} files are generally not perfect multiples of pixels.
