HYPHEN(1)  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

hyphen − find hyphenated words

SYNOPSIS

hyphen [ file(s) ]

DESCRIPTION

hyphen finds all the hyphenated words ending lines in file(s) and prints them on the standard output.  If no arguments are given, or if hyphen encounters −, it uses the standard input.  Thus, hyphen may be used as a filter. 

EXAMPLE

You would use the following command-line to proofread nroff’s hyphenation in textfile(s):

mm mm_option(s)  │ hyphen

SEE ALSO

mm(1), troff(1). 

BUGS

hyphen can’t cope with hyphenated italic (or underlined) words; it frequently will either miss them altogether or mishandle them.  hyphen occasionally gets confused but with no ill effects other than spurious extra output.
