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
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.
