hyphen

PURPOSE

     Finds hyphenated words.

SYNOPSIS
     hyphen [ files ]


DESCRIPTION

     The hyphen command reads  the input files (standard input
     by default),  finds all the lines  ending with hyphenated
     words, and writes those words to standard output.  A word
     is considered hyphenated only if the hyphen occurs at the
     end of a line.  hyphen reads standard input if you do not
     specify any file names on the command line.

     Note: The hyphen command  cannot handle hyphenated italic
     words.  It also sometimes gives unnecessary output.

EXAMPLES

     1.  To check the way words are hyphenated in a text file:

           hyphen  chap1

         This lists  the words in "chap1"  that are hyphenated
         at the end of a line.
     2.  To check the hyphenation  performed by a text format-
         ting program:

           mm  chap1  |  hyphen

         This lists the words  that nroff decides to hyphenate
         across lines.
