NROFF(1)NROFF(1)NAMEnroff - text formatting
SYNOPSISnroff [ option ] ... [ file ] ...
DESCRIPTION
Nroff formats text in the named files for typewriter-like devices. See
also troff(1). The full capabilities of nroff are described in the
Nroff/Troff User's Manual.
If no file argument is present, the standard input is read. An
argument consisting of a single minus (-) is taken to be a file name
corresponding to the standard input.
The options, which may appear in any order so long as they appear
before the files, are:
-olist Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the comma-
separated list of numbers and ranges. A range N-M means pages N
through M; an initial -N means from the beginning to page N; and
a final N- means from N to the end.
-nN Number first generated page N.
-sN Stop every N pages. Nroff will halt prior to every N pages
(default N=1) to allow paper loading or changing, and will
resume upon receipt of a newline.
-mname Prepend the macro file /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.name to the input
files.
-raN Set register a (one-character) to N.
-i Read standard input after the input files are exhausted.
-q Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rd request.
-Tname Prepare output for specified terminal. Known names are 37 for
the (default) Teletype Corporation Model 37 terminal, tn300 for
the GE TermiNet 300 (or any terminal without half-line
capability), 300S for the DASI-300S, 300 for the DASI-300, and
450 for the DASI-450 (Diablo Hyterm).
-e Produce equally-spaced words in adjusted lines, using full
terminal resolution.
-h Use output tabs during horizontal spacing to speed output and
reduce output character count. Tab settings are assumed to be
every 8 nominal character widths.
