NROFF(1) NROFF(1)
NAME
nroff - emulate nroff command with groff
SYNOPSIS
nroff [ -h ] [ -i ] [ -mname ] [ -nnum ] [ -olist ] [ -p ] [ -rcn ] [ -S ] [ -t ]
[ -Tname ] [ -U ] [ -v ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
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 vari-
able.
The -h and -c options are equivalent to grotty's options -h (using tabs in the out-
put) 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.
ENVIRONMENT
GROFF_BIN_PATH
A colon separated list of directories in which to search for the groff exe-
cutable before searching in PATH. If unset, '/usr/bin' is used.
NOTES
This shell script is basically intended for use with man(1), so warnings are sup-
pressed. nroff-style character definitions (in the file tty-char.tmac) are also
loaded to emulate unrepresentable glyphs.
