Typeset or format documents.
| -a |
Send an ASCII approximation of formatted output to
standard output. (Note: a rough ASCII version can also be printed out on ordinary terminals with an old and rarely used command, /usr/bin/ta.) |
| -f |
Do not print a trailer after the final page of output or cause the postprocessor to relinquish control of the device. |
| -Fdir |
Search directory dir for font width or terminal tables instead of the system default directory. |
| -i |
Read standard input after all input files are exhausted. |
| -mname |
Prepend the macro file /usr/share/lib/tmac/name to the input filenames. Note: most references to macro packages include the leading m as part of the name; for example, the
man macros reside in /usr/share/lib/tmac/an. The macro directory can be changed by setting the TROFFMACS environment
variable to a specific path. Be certain to include the trailing '/' (slash) at the end of the path. |
| -nN |
Number the first generated page N. |
| -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. |
| -raN |
Set register a (one-character names only) to N. |
| -sN |
Stop the phototypesetter every N pages. On some devices, troff produces a trailer so you can change cassettes; resume by pressing the typesetter's start button. |
| -Tdest |
Prepare output for typesetter dest. The following values can be supplied for
dest:
post - A PostScript printer; this is the default value. The output of the -T option must go through
dpost before it is sent to a PostScript printer to obtain the proper output.
aps - Autologic APS-5. |
| -uN |
Set the emboldening factor for the font mounted in position 3 to N. If N is missing, then set the emboldening factor to 0. |
| -z |
Suppress formatted output. Only diagnostic
messages and messages output using the .tm request are output. |
| -q |
Quiet mode in nroff ; ignored in troff . |
| filename |
The file containing text to be processed by troff. |
