soelim(1)               (BSD Compatibility Package)               soelim(1)

NAME
     soelim - resolve and eliminate .so requests from nroff or troff input

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/ucb/soelim [filename ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The soelim command reads the specified files or the standard input and
     performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1M) directives of
     the form

          .so somefile

     when they appear at the beginning of input lines. This is useful since
     programs such as tbl(1M) do not normally do this; it allows the place-
     ment of individual tables in separate files to be run as a part of a
     large document.

     An argument consisting of "-" is taken to be a file name corresponding
     to the standard input.

EXAMPLE
     A sample usage of soelim would be

          soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr

SEE ALSO
     nroff(1M), tbl(1M).
