DESCRIPTION
The
nroff
script emulates the
nroff
command using groff.
Only
ascii,
latin1,
utf8,
and
cp1047
are devices accepted by
nroff
to select the output encoding emitted by
grotty,
groff's TTY output device.
If neither the
GROFF_TYPESETTER
environment variable nor the
-T
command line option (which overrides the environment variable)
specifies a (valid) device,
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 variable.
The
-h
and
-c
options
are equivalent to
grotty's
options
-h
(using tabs in the output) and
-c
(using the old output scheme instead of SGR escape sequences).
The
-d,
-C,
-i,
-M,
-m,
-n,
-o,
-r,
-w,
and
-W
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
and
--version
show the version number,
--help
prints a help message.
ENVIRONMENT
- GROFF_TYPESETTER
-
The default device for
groff.
If not set (which is the normal case), it defaults to `ps'.
- 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).
nroff-style character definitions (in the file tty-char.tmac) are also
loaded to emulate unrepresentable glyphs.
