hyphen(1)                                               hyphen(1)



NAME
     hyphen - finds hyphenated words

SYNOPSIS
     hyphen [file]...

ARGUMENTS
     file Specifies the file that is searched for hyphenated
          words.  If this option is not given, hyphen uses the
          standard input.

DESCRIPTION
     hyphen finds all the hyphenated words ending lines in files
     and prints them on the standard output.  If hyphen
     encounters a -, 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


LIMITATIONS
     The hyphen command cannot cope with hyphenated italics (or
     underlined words); it frequently will either miss them
     altogether or mishandle them.

     The hyphen command occasionally gets confused but with no
     ill effects other than spurious extra output.

FILES
     /usr/bin/hyphen
          Executable file
