Which you can see on the standard output like so:

GS>/m { = = (moveto) = } def
GS>/l { = = (lineto) = } def
GS>/c { = = = = = = (curveto) = } def
GS>/cl { (closepath) = } def
GS>30 30 10 360 0 arc /m load /l load /c load /cl load pathforall
29.999
39.9987
moveto
29.999
39.9987
29.999
39.9987
29.999
39.9987
curveto

(I did't bother reversing the order of the arguments.)
