SYNOPSIS

hyphen [ files ]

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level: HP-UX/STANDARD

Origin: System V

Remarks: Not supported on the Integral Personal Computer. 

DESCRIPTION

Hyphen finds all the hyphenated words ending lines in files and prints them on the standard output.  If no arguments are given, the standard input is used; thus, hyphen may be used as a filter. 

EXAMPLE

The following will allow the proofreading of nroff hyphenation in textfile.

mm textfile │ hyphen

SEE ALSO

mm(1), nroff(1). 

BUGS

Hyphen cannot cope with hyphenated italic (i.e., underlined) words; it will often miss them completely, or mangle them. 
Hyphen occasionally gets confused, but with no ill effects other than spurious extra output.
