Quikview -f:filename [-v] [-d] [-p] [-&:printerdriver]
| -f:pathname | Path of the file to view or print. Universal Naming Convention (UNC) filenames are allowed. If this option is not specified, Quick View terminates without displaying any messages. |
| -v | File to be opened for viewing in the file viewer. If this option is specified, Quick View ignores all of the options described below. This is the default option in the absence of both -v and -p. |
| -d | Quick View and the file viewer to suppress all user interface (UI) elements if -p is also specified. Quick View suppresses any error messages, and the file viewer should not display any dialog boxes for printing. Quick View ignores this option in the absence of -p. |
| -p | File to be opened for printing. If -v is also present, Quick View ignores this option. |
| -&:pathname | Printer driver to use to print the file. Quick View ignores this option in the absence of -p. If -p is present but -& is not, Quick View instructs the file viewer to use the default printer driver. |
Quick View starts and checks for a path on the command line. If there is no path, the user has attempted to start Quick View by itself and the program immediately terminates without displaying any messages
