0 don't send any logical clipping amounts 1 only send Y clipping amount 2 only send X clipping amount 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts - -A
AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1. Works with bitcmyk input only.
- -B
BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0. Works with bitcmyk input only.
- -M mirror

Examples
Create a black and white OAKT stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r600x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps | foo2oak -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.oak
Create a color OAKT stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g5100x6600 -r600x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps | foo2oak -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.oak
