NROFF(1)
NAME
nroff − text formatting
USAGE
nroff [ options ] [ file(s) ]
DESCRIPTION
Nroff formats text in the named files for typewriter-like devices.
If no file argument is present, nroff reads the standard input. It takes an argument consisting of a single dash (−) to be a filename corresponding to the standard input.
Options may appear in any order, so long as they appear before the files.
OPTIONS
−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 halts prior to every N pages (the default N=1) to allow paper loading or changing, and resumes 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 a 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.
