-.B \-dDISKFONTS
-Causes individual character outlines to be loaded from the disk
-the first time they are encountered.  (Normally Ghostscript loads all the
-character outlines when it loads a font.)  This may allow loading more
-fonts into RAM, at the expense of slower rendering.
+.B \-dSAFER
+Disables the "deletefile" and "renamefile" operators and the ability to
+open files in any mode other than read-only. This is desirable for
+spoolers or any other environments where a malicious or badly written
+PostScript program must be prevented from changing important files.
 .TP
-.B \-dNOCACHE
-Disables character caching.  Useful only for debugging.
+.B \-dBATCH
+Causes Ghostscript to exit after processing all files named on the

-.B \-dNOBIND
-Disables the "bind" operator.  Useful only for debugging.
+.B \-dNOPAUSE
+Disables the prompt and pause at the end of each page. This may be
