MAN(7)                  GENIX Programmer's Manual                  MAN(7)



      NAME
           man - macros to typeset manual

      SYNOPSIS
           nroff  -man  file ...

           troff  -man  file ...

      DESCRIPTION
           These macros are used to lay out pages of this manual.   A  skeleton
           page may be found in the file /usr/man/man0/xx.

           Any text argument t may be zero to six words.  Quotes may be used to
           include blanks in a `word'.  If text is empty, the special treatment
           is applied to the next input line with text to be printed.  In  this
           way  .I may be used to italicize a whole line, or .SM followed by .B
           to make small bold letters.

           A  prevailing  indent  distance  is  remembered  between  successive
           indented  paragraphs,  and is reset to default value upon reaching a
           non-indented paragraph.  Default units for indents i are ens.

           Margins in nroff are set to allow holes to be punched on both  edges
           without punching through text.

           Type font and size are reset to default  values  before  each  para-
           graph, and after processing font and size setting macros.

           These strings are predefined by -man:

           \*R  `(Reg)', trademark symbol in troff.

           \*S  Change to default type size.
