NAME suftab -- suffix table
SYNOPSIS --
DESCRIPTION suftab is a table of suffixes used to guide hy-
phenation in roff. Its first 12 words are not
used (see a.out format.) Its next 26 words point
to the beginning of the subtables for each of the
26 initial letters of a suffix. The first entry
for each suffix is a count of the number of bytes
in the suffix. The second byte of each entry is
a flag indicating the type of suffix. The suffix
itself follows; the high bits of each letter in-
dicate where the hyphens come. The table for
each initial suffix letter ends with a zero count
byte.
