troff - format text
SYNOPSIS
troff [ +n ] [ -n ] [ -sn ] [ -nn ] [ -ran ] [ -mname ] [ -t
] [ -f ] [ -w ] [ -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. An
argument of just ``-'' refers to the standard input. 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.
-sn Print output in groups of n pages, stopping the
typesetter after each group.
-nn First generated (not necessarily printed) page is
given the number n; simulates ``.pn n''.
-ran Set number register a to the value n.
-mname Prepends a standard macro file; simulates ``.so
/usr/lib/tmac.name''.
-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.
-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.
