soelim(1BSD)         (BSD System Compatibility)         soelim(1BSD)


       NAME
             soelim - (BSD) resolve and eliminate .so requests from nroff
             or troff input

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/ucb/soelim [file . . . ]

       DESCRIPTION
             The soelim command reads the specified files or the standard
             input and performs the textual inclusion implied by the
             nroff(1BSD) directives of the form
                   .so somefile

             when they appear at the beginning of input lines.  This is
             useful since programs such as tbl(1BSD) do not normally do
             this; it allows the placement of individual tables in separate
             files to be run as a part of a large document.

             An argument consisting of ``-'' is taken to be a file name
             corresponding to the standard input.

             Note: inclusion can be suppressed by using a single quote (')
             instead of a dot (.) in column one:
                   'so /usr/ucblib/doctools/tmac/s

       EXAMPLE
             soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr
