MAN(7)                  COMMAND REFERENCE                  MAN(7)



NAME
     man - macros to typeset manual

     The troff command is not supported for UTek workstations.

SYNOPSIS
     nroff  -man filename...
     troff  -man filename...

DESCRIPTION
     These macros are used to lay out pages of this manual.  A
     skeleton page may be found in the file /usr/man/man0/xxx.

     Any text argument t may be zero to six words.  Quotes may be
     used to include blanks in a `word'.  If text is empty, the
     special treatment is applied to the next input line with
     text to be printed.  In this way .I may be used to italicize
     a whole line, or .SM followed by .B to make small bold
     letters.

     A prevailing indent distance is remembered between
     successive indented paragraphs, and is reset to default
     value upon reaching a non-indented paragraph.  Default units
     for indents i are ens.

     Type font and size are reset to default values before each
     paragraph, and after processing font and size setting
     macros.

     These strings are predefined by -man:

     \*R  `(Reg)', trademark symbol in troff.

     \*S  Change to default type size.
