       NAME
             nroff - (BSD) format documents for display or line-printer

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/ucb/nroff [-ehiqz] [-Fdir] [-mname] [-nN] [-olist] [-raN]
                   [-sN] [-Tname] [-uN] [file . . .]

       DESCRIPTION
             nroff formats text in the named file for typewriter-like
             devices.  [See also troff(1BSD)].

             If no file argument is present, nroff reads the standard
             input.  An argument consisting of a `-' is taken to be a file
             name corresponding to the standard input.

             The following options may appear in any order, but must appear
             before the files.

             -e     Produce equally-spaced words in adjusted lines, using
                    full terminal resolution.

             -h     Use output TAB characters during horizontal spacing to
                    speed output and reduce output character count.  TAB
                    settings are assumed to be every 8 nominal character
                    widths.

             -i     Read the standard input after the input files are
                    exhausted.

             -q     Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rd
                    request.

             -Fdir  Search directory dir for font tables instead of the
                    system-dependent default.

             -mname Prepend the macro file /usr/ucblib/doctools/tmac/name
                    to the input files.

             -nN    Number first generated page N.

             -olist Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the
                    comma-separated list of numbers and ranges.  A range
                    N-M means pages N through M; an initial -N means from
                    the beginning to page N; and a final N- means from N to
                    the end.

            -raN   Set register a (one-character) to N.

            -sN    Stop every N pages.  nroff will halt prior to every N
                   pages (default N=1) to allow paper loading or changing,
                   and will resume upon receipt of a NEWLINE.

            -Tname Prepare output for a device of the specified name.
                   Known names are:

                   37      Teletype Corporation Model 37 terminal - this
                           is the default.

                           terminal without half-line capability.

                   832     AJ 832.

            -uN    Set emboldening factor for the font mounted on position
                   3 to N.  Emboldening is accomplished by overstriking
                   the specified number of times.

            -z     Suppress formatted output.  The only output will
                   consist of diagnostic messages from nroff and messages
                   output with the .tm request.

      EXAMPLE
            The following command:
                  nroff -s4 -me users.guide
