SOELIM(1)               COMMAND REFERENCE               SOELIM(1)



NAME
     soelim - eliminate .so's from nroff input

SYNOPSIS
     soelim [ filename... ]

DESCRIPTION
     Soelim reads the specified files or the standard input and
     performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff
     directives of the form:

          .so somefilename

     when they appear at the beginning of input lines.  This is
     useful since programs such as tbl 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 a dash (-) is taken to be a
     filename corresponding to the standard input.

     Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using a single
     quotation mark (') instead of a dot (.).

     A sample usage of soelim would be:

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

EXAMPLES
     Here, inclusion is suppressed in the file /usr/lib/tmac.s:

          'so /usr/lib/tmac.s

CAVEATS
     The format of the source commands must involve no
     strangeness - exactly one blank must precede and no blanks
     follow the filename.

     nroff(1) and more(1).
