pmpost --help (return code: 0)
This is pMetaPost 1.999-0.04 (TeX Live 2015/Debian) (kpathsea version 6.2.1)
Usage: pmpost [OPTION] [&MEMNAME] [MPNAME[.mp]] [COMMANDS]
pmpost --dvitomp DVINAME[.dvi] [MPXNAME[.mpx]]
Run pMetaPost on MPNAME, usually creating MPNAME.NNN (and perhaps
MPNAME.tfm), where NNN are the character numbers generated.
Any remaining COMMANDS are processed as pMetaPost input,
after MPNAME is read.
With a --dvitomp argument, pMetaPost acts as DVI-to-MPX converter only.
Call pMetaPost with --dvitomp --help for option explanations.
