soelim



PURPOSE

Eliminates .so's from nroff input.

SYNTAX


          +--------+
soelim ---|        |---|
          +- file -+


Note:  This command does not have MBCS support.

DESCRIPTION

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

  .so somefile

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

An argument consisting of a single minus ( - ) is taken to be a file name
corresponding to the standard input.

Inclusion can be suppressed by using '~' instead of '.', for example

  'so /usr/lib/tmac.s

A sample usage of soelim would be

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