NAME
| |
troff, nroff – text formatting and typesetting
|
SYNOPSIS
| |
troff [ option ... ] [ file ... ]
nroff [ option ... ] [ file ... ]
|
DESCRIPTION
| |
Troff formats text in the named files for printing on a typesetter.
Nroff does the same, but produces output suitable for typewriter-like
devices.
If no file argument is present, the standard input is read. An
argument consisting of a single minus (−) is taken to be a file
name corresponding to the standard input. The options are:
−olist Print pages in the comma-separated list of numbers and ranges.
A range N−M means N through M; initial −M means up to M; final
N− means from N to the end.
−nN Number first generated page N.
−mnameProcess the macro file /sys/lib/tmac/tmac.name before the
input files.
−raN Set register a (one character name) to N.
−i Read standard input after the input files are exhausted.
−q Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rd request.
−N Produce output suitable for typewriter-like devices.
Typesetter devices (not −N) only
−a Send a printable textual approximation of the results to the
standard output.
−TdestPrepare output for typesetter dest:
| |
| |
−Tutf (The default.) PostScript printers with preprocessing to
handle Unicode characters encoded in UTF
−Tpost Regular PostScript printers
−T202 Mergenthaler Linotron 202
|
|
−Fdir Take font information from directory dir.
Typewriter (−N) output only
−sN Halt prior to every N pages (default N=1) to allow paper loading
or changing.
−TnamePrepare output for specified terminal. Known names include
utf for the normal Plan 9 UTF encoding of the Unicode Standard
character set (default), 37 for the Teletype model 37, lp (‘line-printer’)
for any terminal without half-line capability, 450 for the DASI-450
(Diablo Hyterm), and think (HP ThinkJet).
−e Produce equally-spaced words in adjusted lines, using full terminal
resolution.
−h Use output tabs during horizontal spacing to speed output and
reduce output character count. Tab settings are assumed to be
every 8 nominal character widths.
