[Solved] Ghostscript, postscript, pdf

Is there a command of ghostscript to get the count of pages of a pdf file?

I know there is pdfinfo but i want to do it with ghostscript.

hi Lelldorin,

this line works:
gs -dNODISPLAY -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -o /dev/null /boot/home/Desktop/ch01.pdf | grep --regex ‘^Page’ | wc -l

If you use this

gs -dNODISPLAY -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -o /dev/null /boot/home/Desktop/ch01.pdf

you see the counter of gs.
