NROFF(1)NROFF(1)NAMEnroff - emulate nroff command with groff
SYNOPSISnroff [ -h ] [ -i ] [ -mname ] [ -nnum ] [ -olist ] [ -p ]
[ -rcn ] [ -t ] [ -S ] [ -Tname ] [ -U ] [ -v ]
[ file... ]
DESCRIPTION
The nroff script emulates the nroff command using groff.
Only ascii, latin1, utf8, and cp1047 are valid arguments
for the -T option. If an invalid or no -T option is
given, nroff checks the current locale to select a default
output device. It first tries the locale program, then
the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and LANG, and
finally the LESSCHARSET environment variable.
The -h option is equivalent to the grotty's -h option
(i.e., using tabs in the output). The -i, -n, -m, -o and
-r options have the effect described in troff(1). In
addition, nroff silently ignores the options -e, -q, and
-s (which are not implemented in troff). Options -p
(pic), -t (tbl), -S (safer), and -U (unsafe) are passed to
groff. -S is passed by default. -v shows the version
number.
ENVIRONMENT
GROFF_BIN_PATH
A colon separated list of directories in which to
search for the groff executable before searching in
PATH. If unset, `/usr/freeware/bin' is used.
NOTES
This shell script is basically intended for use with
man(1), so warnings are suppressed. nroff-style character
definitions (in the file tty-char.tmac) are also loaded to
emulate unrepresentable glyphs.
