TROFF(1) General Commands Manual TROFF(1) NAME troff, nroff - text formatting and typesetting SYNOPSIS troff [ option ] ... [ file ] ... nroff [ option ] ... [ file ] ... DESCRIPTION Troff formats text in the named files for printing on a Graphic Systems C/A/T phototypesetter; nroff for typewriter-like devices. Their capa- bilities are described in the Nroff/Troff user's manual. If no file 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 before the files, are: -olist Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the comma-sepa- rated 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 (de- fault N=1) to allow paper loading or changing, and will resume upon receipt of a newline. Troff will stop the phototypesetter every N pages, produce a trailer to allow changing cassettes, and resume when the typesetter's start button is pressed. -mname Prepend the macro file /usr/lib/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. Nroff only -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 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. Troff only -t Direct output to the standard output instead of the phototype- setter. -f Refrain from feeding out paper and stopping phototypesetter at the end of the run. -w Wait until phototypesetter is available, if currently busy. -b Report whether the phototypesetter is busy or available. No text processing is done. -a Send a printable ASCII approximation of the results to the stan- dard output. -pN Print all characters in point size N while retaining all pre- scribed spacings and motions, to reduce phototypesetter elasped time. -g Prepare output for a GCOS phototypesetter and direct it to the standard output (see gcat(1)). If the file /usr/adm/tracct is writable, troff keeps phototypesetter accounting records there. The integrity of that file may be secured by making troff a `set user-id' program.
