NAME

nroff - emulate nroff command with groff

SYNOPSIS

nroff-v ] [ -h ] [ -i ] [ -mname ] [ -nnum ] [ -olist ] [ -rcn ] [ -Tname ] [ file... ]

DESCRIPTION

The nroff script emulates the nroff command using groff. The -T option with an argument other than ascii, latin1, utf8, or cp1047 will be ignored (and -Tascii will be used). The -h option is equivalent to the grotty -h option. The -i, -n, -m, -o and -r options have the effect described in troff(1). In addition nroff silently ignores options of -e, -q or -s. Options -S (safer) and -U (unsafe) are passed to groff. -S is passed by default. -v shows the version number.

ENVIRONMENT

GROFF_BIN_PATH

A colon separated list of directories in which to search for the groff executable. If unset, ‘/usr/local/bin’ is used.

NOTES

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.
