NAME
       nroff - text formatting

SYNOPSIS
       nroff [ option ] ...  [ file ] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Nroff formats text in the named files for typewriter-like devices.  See
       also troff(1).  The full capabilities of nroff  are  described  in  the
       Nroff/Troff User's Manual.

       If  no  file  argument  is  present,  the  standard  input is read.  An
       argument consisting of a single minus (-) is taken to be	 a  file  name
       corresponding to the standard input.

       The  options,  which  may  appear  in  any order so long as they appear
       before the files, are:

       -olist Print only  pages	 whose	page  numbers  appear  in  the	comma-
	      separated list of numbers and ranges.  A range N-M means pages N
	      through M; an initial -N means from the beginning to page N; and
	      a final N- means from N to the end.

       -nN    Number first generated page N.

       -sN    Stop  every  N  pages.   Nroff  will halt prior to every N pages
	      (default N=1) to allow  paper  loading  or  changing,  and  will
	      resume upon receipt of a newline.

       -mname Prepend  the  macro  file	 /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.name  to the input
	      files.

       -raN   Set register a (one-character) to N.

       -i     Read standard input after the input files are exhausted.

       -q     Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rd request.

       -Tname Prepare output for specified terminal.  Known names are  37  for
	      the  (default) Teletype Corporation Model 37 terminal, tn300 for
	      the  GE  TermiNet 300  (or  any	terminal   without   half-line
	      capability),  300S  for the DASI-300S, 300 for the DASI-300, and
	      450 for the DASI-450 (Diablo Hyterm).

       -e     Produce equally-spaced  words  in	 adjusted  lines,  using  full
	      terminal resolution.

       -h     Use  output  tabs	 during horizontal spacing to speed output and
	      reduce output character count.  Tab settings are assumed	to  be
	      every 8 nominal character widths.

       /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.*  standard macro files
