B.5 Output devices

Configuring output devices is the most complicated aspect of configuring PSPP. The output device configuration file is named devices. It is searched for using the usual algorithm for finding configuration files (see File locations). Each line in the file is read in the usual manner for configuration files (see Configuration files).

Lines in devices are divided into three categories, described briefly in the table below:

driver category definitions
Define a driver in terms of other drivers.
macro definitions
Define environment variables local to the the output driver configuration file.
device definitions
Describe the configuration of an output device.

The following sections further elaborate the contents of the devices file.
