mmroff - cross-referencing front end for GNU roff mm macro package
mmroff [-x] groff-argument ...
mmroff --help
mmroff --version
mmroff is a simple wrapper for groff, used to expand cross references in mm documents; see groff_mm(7). It runs groff with the -mm option twice, first with -z and -rRef=1 to populate cross-reference and index files with their corresponding entries, and then without to produce the document. It also handles the inclusion of PostScript images with the PIC macro. Documents that do not use these features of groff mm (the INITI, IND, INDP, INITR, SETR, GETHN, GETPN, GETR, GETST, and PIC macros) do not require mmroff.
--help displays a usage message, while --version shows version information; both exit afterward.
|
-x |
Create or update the cross-reference file and exit. |
Normally, the
path separator in environment variables ending with
PATH is the colon; this may vary depending on the
operating system. For example, Windows uses a semicolon
instead.
GROFF_BIN_PATH
Locate groff commands in these directories, followed by those in PATH. If not set, the installation directory of GNU roff executables, /usr/local/bin, is searched before PATH.
mmroff exits with status 0 if the --help or --version options were specified, or if -x was specified and the program successfully created or updated the cross-reference file. It exits with status 1 if it was unable to create necessary files. Otherwise, it exits with the status of groff.
