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.

SEE ALSO
     nroff(1), more(1).
