nroff − emulate nroff command with groff |
|
nroff [ −h ] [ −i ] [ −mname ] [ −nnum ] [ −olist ] [ −p ] [ −rcn ] [ −S ] [ −t ] [ −Tname ] [ −U ] [ −v ] [ file ... ] |
|
The nroff script emulates the nroff command using groff. Only ascii, ascii8, latin1, utf8, nippon, and cp1047 are valid arguments for the -T option. If an invalid or no −T option is given, nroff checks the current locale to select a default output device. It first tries the locale program, then the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and LANG, and finally the LESSCHARSET environment variable. The −h and −c options are equivalent to grotty’s options −h (using tabs in the output) and −c (using the old output scheme instead of SGR escape sequences). The −C, −i, −n, −m, −o, and −r options have the effect described in troff(1). In addition, nroff silently ignores the options −e, −q, and −s (which are not implemented in troff). Options −p (pic), −t (tbl), −S (safer), and −U (unsafe) are passed to groff. −v shows the version number. |

GROFF_BIN_PATH |
|
A colon separated list of directories in which to search for the groff executable before searching in PATH. If unset, ‘/usr/bin’ is used. |
|
This shell script is basically intended for use with man(1), so warnings are suppressed. nroff-style character definitions (in the file tty-char.tmac) are also loaded to emulate unrepresentable glyphs. |
