     Name
          nroff - A text formatter.

     Syntax
          nroff [ option ... ] [ file ... ]

     Description
          nroff formats text in the named files. nroff is part of the
          nroff/troff family of text formatters.  nroff is used to
          format files for output to a lineprinter or daisy wheel
          printer; troff (CT), to a phototypesetter.

          If no file argument is present, the standard input is read.
          An argument consisting of a single dash (-) is taken to be a
          filename corresponding to the standard input.  The options,
          which may appear in any order so long as they appear before
          the files, are:

          -olist Prints 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.

          -nN    Numbers first generated page N.

          -sN    Stops 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.

          -mname Prepends the macro file /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.name to
                 the input files.

          -cname Prepends to the input files the compacted macro files
                 /usr/lib/macros/cmp.[nt].[dt].name and
                 /usr/lib/macros/ucmp.[nt].name.

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

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

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

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

          -h     Uses output tabs during horizontal spacing  to  speed
                 output   and  reduce  output  character  count.   Tab
                 settings are assumed to be every 8 nominal  character
                 widths.
