DESCRIPTION

The proff command formats text in the named files for the IBM 4201 Proprinter
(default) and the IBM 5152 Graphics Printer.  See also "nroff, troff."

If no file argument is present, the standard input is read.  An argument
consisting of a single minus (-) is taken to be a file name corresponding to
standard input.

FLAGS

-g        Produces output for the IBM 5152 Graphics Printer.

-t        Sends output to standard output.

-P xx     Sends output to printer xx which corresponds to an entry in
          /etc/printcap.  The default is taken from the PRINTER environment
          variable, if it exists; otherwise lp is used.

-L parms  Passes parameter parms to lpr.  This may be a single parameter (for
          example, -L-h) or a string (for example, -L"-h -r -m").

All other options are passed to the nroff command.
