Where is -dBATCH flag to ghostscript documented?

Chapter 11. Printing

This chapter covers the printing system in FreeBSD

docs.freebsd.org

We read:

Create /usr/local/libexec/ps2pcl with these contents:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -q -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=- -

Where is -dBATCH documented? I run filters without it and work.

When calling gs from the command line with this flag, it does not enter in an interactive dialog, that seems to be the effect, but where is it documented?

ports(7):

     BATCH             If defined, only operate on a port if it can be
                       installed 100% automatically.

Oh, wait. Wrong BATCH.

It should be documented in gs(1), or at least that's where I would expect it.

  -Dname=token
       -dname=token
	      Define a name in "systemdict" with the  given  definition.   The
	      token must be exactly one	token (as defined by the "token" oper-
	      ator) and	may contain no whitespace.

It does have a few references to other documentation:

SEE ALSO
       The various Ghostscript document	files (above), especially Use.htm.

So I'd look for it there.

       /usr/local/share/ghostscript/#.##/doc/*
	      Diverse document files

Covacat, we read there also:

-dBATCH
Causes Ghostscript to exit after processing all files named on the command
line, rather than going into an interactive loop reading PostScript
commands. Equivalent to putting -c quit at the end of the command line.
