DESCRIPTION
The tc command interprets its input, either a file or standard input, as a
troff document. It then simulates the typesetter output for a Tektronix 4014
work station with ASCII and APL character sets and writes the results to
standard output (usually the work station display). The 16 typesetter sizes
are mapped into the 4014's four sizes; the entire troff character set is drawn
using the 4014's character generator, with overstruck combinations where
necessary.
At the end of each page, tc waits for a new-line character from the keyboard
before continuing to the next page. While it is waiting, the command "e"
suppresses the screen erase before the next page. !AIX-cmd sends AIX-cmd to
the shell.
There are no font distinctions in the display.
FLAGS
-pnum letter Sets page length to num and scale to letter. letter may include
the scale factors p (points), i (inches), c (centimeters), and P
(picas). The default is picas. Do not put a space between num
and letter.
-t Does not wait between pages (use in a pipeline).
