hyphen(1)                                               hyphen(1)



     NAME
          hyphen - find hyphenated words

     SYNOPSIS
          hyphen [file...]

     DESCRIPTION
          hyphen finds all the hyphenated words ending lines in files
          and prints them on the standard output.  If no arguments are
          given or if hyphen encounters -, it uses the standard input.
          Thus, hyphen may be used as a filter.

     EXAMPLES
          You would use the following command line to proofread
          nroff's hyphenation in files:

               mm file | hyphen

     FILES
          /usr/bin/hyphen

     SEE ALSO
          grep(1), mm(1), troff(1).

     BUGS
          hyphen can't cope with hyphenated italics (or underlined
          words); it frequently will either miss them altogether or
          mishandle them.  hyphen occasionally gets confused but with
          no ill effects other than spurious extra output.
