NAME
nroff - format text
SYNOPSIS
nroff [ +n ] [ -n ] [ -nn ] [ -ran ] [ -mx ] [ -s ] [ -h ] [
-q ] files
DESCRIPTION
Nroff formats text according to control lines embedded in
the text files. Nroff reads the standard input if no file
arguments are given. An argument of just ``-'' refers to
the standard input. The non-file option arguments are
interpreted as follows:
+n Output commences at the first page whose page
number is n or larger.
-n Printing stops after page n.
-nn First generated (not necessarily printed) page is
given number n; simulates ``.pn n''.
-ran Set number register to the value n.
-mname Prepends a standard macro file; simulates ``.so
/usr/lib/tmac.name''.
-s Stop prior to each page to permit paper loading.
Printing is restarted by typing a `newline'
character.
-h Spaces are replaced where possible with tabs to
speed up output (or reduce the size of the output
file).
-q Prompt names for insertions are not printed and
the bell character is sent instead; the insertion
is not echoed.
