NAME
     nroff - text formatting

SYNOPSIS
     nroff [ option ] ...  [ file ] ...

DESCRIPTION
     Nroff formats text in the named files for typewriter-like
     devices.  See also troff(1). The full capabilities of nroff
     are described in the Nroff/Troff User's Manual.

     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, which may appear in any order so long as they
     appear before the files, are:

     -olist Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the
	    comma-separated list 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.

     -nN    Number first generated page N.

     -sN    Stop every N pages.  Nroff will halt prior to every N
	    pages (default N=1) to allow paper loading or chang-
	    ing, and will resume upon receipt of a newline.

     -mname Prepend the macro file /usr/share/tmac/tmac.name to
	    the input files.

     -raN   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.

     -Tname Prepare output for specified terminal.  Known names
	    are 37 for the (default) Teletype Corporation Model
	    37 terminal, tn300 for the GE TermiNet 300 (or any
	    terminal without half-line capability), 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 terminal resolution.

     -h     Use output tabs during horizontal spacing to speed
