NAME
troff - format text
SYNOPSIS
troff [ +n ] [ -n ] [ -nn ] [ -mx ] [ -t ] [ -f ] [ -w ] [
-i ] [ -a ] [ -pn ] files
DESCRIPTION
Troff formats text for a Graphic Systems phototypesetter
according to control lines embedded in the text files. It
reads the standard input if no file arguments are given.
The non-file option arguments are interpreted as follows:
+n Commence typesetting at the first page numbered n or
larger.
-n Stop after page n.
-nn First generated (not necessarily printed) page is
given the number n; simulates ``.pn n''.
-mx Prepends a standard macro file; simulates ``.so
/usr/lib/tmac.x''.
-t Place output on standard output instead of the
phototypesetter.
-f Refrain from feeding out paper and stopping the
phototypesetter at the end.
-w Wait until phototypesetter is available, if
currently busy.
-i Read from standard input after the files have been
exhausted.
-a Send a printable approximation of the results to the
standard output.
-pn Print all characters with point-size n while
retaining all prescribed spacings and motions.
FILES
/usr/lib/suftab suffix hyphenation tables
