NAME
troff, nroff - text formatting and typesetting
SYNOPSIS
troff [ option ... ] [ file ... ] nroff [ option ... ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Troff formats text in the named files for printing on a typesetter. Nroff does the same, but produces output suitable for typewriter-like devices. 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 are: -olist Print pages in the comma-separated list of numbers and ranges. A range N-M means N through M; initial -M means up to M; final N- means from N to the end. -nN Number first generated page N. -mname Process the macro file /usr/share/9base/troff/tmac/tmac.name before the input files. -raN Set register a (one character name) to N. -i Read standard input after the input files are exhausted. -q Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rd request. -N Produce output suitable for typewriter-like devices. Typesetter devices (not -N) only -a Send a printable textual approximation of the results to the standard output. -Tdest Prepare output for typesetter dest: -Tutf (The default.) PostScript printers with preprocessing to handle Unicode characters encoded in UTF -Tpost Regular PostScript printers -T202 Mergenthaler Linotron 202 -Fdir Take font information from directory dir. Typewriter (-N) output only -sN Halt prior to every N pages (default N=1) to allow paper loading or changing. -Tname Prepare output for specified terminal. Known names include utf for the normal Plan 9 UTF encoding of the Unicode Standard character set (default), 37 for the Teletype model 37, lp (`line-printer') for any terminal without half-line capability, 450 for the DASI-450 (Diablo Hyterm), and think (HP ThinkJet). -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.
