-r: Compatibility with GNU groff's soelim (does nothing).
-t: Compatibility with GNU groff's soelim (does nothing).
-v: Compatibility with GNU groff's soelim (does nothing).
-I dir: This option specify directories where searches for files (both those on the command line and those named in ``.so'' directive.) This options may be specified multiple times. The directories will be searched in the order specified.

The files are always searched first in the current directory.

A file specified with an absolute path will be opened directly without performing a search.
