NROFF(1) NROFF(1) NAME nroff - text formatting SYNOPSIS nroff [ option ] ... [ file ] ... DESCRIPTION _N_r_o_f_f formats text in the named _f_i_l_e_s for typewriter-like devices. See also _t_r_o_f_f_(_1_)_. The full capabilities of _n_r_o_f_f are described in the _N_r_o_f_f_/_T_r_o_f_f _U_s_e_r_’_s _M_a_n_u_a_l_. If no _f_i_l_e argument is present, the standard input is read. An argu‐ ment consisting of a single minus (-) is taken to be a file name corre‐ sponding to the standard input. The options, which may appear in any order so long as they appear _b_e_f_o_r_e the files, are: -o_l_i_s_t Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the comma-sepa‐ rated _l_i_s_t of numbers and ranges. A range _N-_M means pages _N through _M; an initial _-_N means from the beginning to page _N; and a final _N- means from _N to the end. -n_N Number first generated page _N. -s_N Stop every _N pages. _N_r_o_f_f will halt prior to every _N pages (default _N=1) to allow paper loading or changing, and will resume upon receipt of a newline. -m_n_a_m_e Prepend the macro file /usr/lib/tmac/tmac._n_a_m_e to the input _f_i_l_e_s. -r_a_N Set register _a (one-character) to _N. -i Read standard input after the input files are exhausted. -q Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rd request. -T_n_a_m_e Prepare output for specified terminal. Known _n_a_m_e_s are 37 for the (default) Teletype Corporation Model 37 terminal, tn300 for the GE TermiNet 300 (or any terminal without half-line capabil‐ ity), 300S for the DASI-300S, 300 for the DASI-300, and 450 for the DASI-450 (Diablo Hyterm). -e Produce equally-spaced words in adjusted lines, using full ter‐ minal 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.
