NAME
     nroff - format text

     For UTek 4300 series products only.

SYNOPSIS
     nroff [ options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION
     Nroff formats text contained in files (standard input by
     default) for printing on typewriter-like devices and line
     printers.  Its capabilities are described in the NROFF/TROFF
     sections of the UTek Tools manual, Volume 1.

     An argument consisting of a minus (-) is taken to be a file
     name corresponding to the standard input.  The options, may
     appear in any order, but must appear before the filenames.

OPTIONS
     -olist
          Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the list
          of numbers and ranges, separated by commas.  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.  (See CAVEATS below.)

     -nN  Number first generated page N.

     -sN  Stop every N pages.  Nroff will halt after every N
          pages (default N=1) to allow paper loading or changing,
          and will resume upon receipt of a line-feed or new-
          line.  This option does not work if the output of nroff
          is piped through col(1).  When nroff halts between
          pages, an ASCII BEL is sent to the terminal.

     -raN Set register a (which must have a one-character name)
          to N.

     -i   Read standard input after files are exhausted.

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

     -mfilename
          Prepend to the input files the non-compacted (ASCII
          text) macro file /usr/lib/tmac/tmac. filename.

     -Tfilename
          Prepare output for specified terminal.  Known filenames
          are:

             37     TELETYPE(Reg.) Model 37 terminal.

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

CAVEATS
     When nroff is used with the -olist option inside a pipeline
     (e.g., with one or more of neqn(1), and tbl(1)), it may
     cause a harmless ``broken pipe'' diagnostic if the last page
     of the document is not specified in list.
