NAME

proff − nroff for the IBM 4201 Proprinter and IBM 5152 Graphics Printer

SYNOPSIS

proff [ −g ] [ −t ] [ −Pxx ] [ −Lparms ] [ nroff-options ] [ files ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Proff formats text in the named files for the IBM 4201 Proprinter (default) and the IBM 5152 Graphics Printer.  See also nroff(1). 

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. 

Options are:

−g Produce output for the IBM 5152 Graphics Printer

−t Send output to standard output. 

−Pxx Send 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. 

−Lparms Pass parameter parms to lpr(1).  This may be a single parameter (e.g., -L-h) or a string (e.g., -L"-h -r -m"). 

All other options are passed to nroff.
