Synopsis
[ -x]

Description
mmroff
is a simple wrapper for
groff,
used to expand internal references in
mm
documents;
see
It runs
groff
with the
-mm
option twice,
first with
-z
and
-rRef=1
to populate reference and index files with their corresponding entries,
and then without to produce the document.
It also handles the inclusion of PostScript images with the
PIC
macro.
Documents that do not use these features of
groff mm
(the
INITI,
IND,
INDP,
INITR,
SETR,
GETHN,
GETPN,
GETR,
GETST,
and
PIC
macros)
do not require
mmroff.
Options
--help
displays
a usage message,
while
--version
shows version information;
both exit afterward.
- -x
-
Create or update the reference list file and exit.
Environment
Normally,
the path separator in environment variables ending with
PATH
is the colon;
this may vary depending on the operating system.
For example,
Windows uses a semicolon instead.
- GROFF_BIN_PATH
-
Locate
groff commands
in these directories,
followed by those in
PATH.
If not set,
the installation directory of GNU
roff
executables,
/usr/:bin,
is searched before
PATH.
Exit status
mmroff
exits with status
0
if the
--help
or
--version
options were specified,
or if
-x
was specified and the program successfully
created or updated the reference list file.
It exits with status
1
if it was unable to create necessary files.
Otherwise,
it exits with the status of
groff.
