 NROFF(1)                                                 NROFF(1)
 
 
 
NAME
        nroff - emulate nroff command with groff
 
SYNOPSIS
        nroff [ -h ] [ -i ] [ -mname ] [ -nnum ] [ -olist ] [ -p ]
              [ -rcn ] [ -t ] [ -S ] [ -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 pro­
        gram, then the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and
        LANG, and finally the LESSCHARSET environment variable.
 
        The  -h  option  is  equivalent  to the grotty's -h option
        (i.e., using tabs in the output).  The -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.   -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 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 suppressed.  nroff-style character
        definitions (in the file tty-char.tmac) are also loaded to
        emulate unrepresentable glyphs.
