nroff - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
nroff - emulate nroff command with groff
SYNOPSIS
nroff
[ -h ]
[ -i ]
[ -m ]
[ -n ]
[ -o ]
[ -p ]
[ -r ]
[ -S ]
[ -t ]
[ -T ]
[ -U ]
[ -v ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The
nroff script emulates the
nroff command using groff.
Only
ascii, ascii8, latin1, utf8, nippon, and
cp1047 are valid arguments for the
-T option.
If an invalid or no
-T option is given,
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
grottys options
-h (using tabs in the output) and
-c (using the old output scheme instead of SGR escape sequences).
The
-C, -i, -n, -m, -o, and
-r 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 shows the version number.
ENVIRONMENT
Tag | Description |
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),
so warnings are suppressed.
nroff-style character definitions (in the file tty-char.tmac) are also
loaded to emulate unrepresentable glyphs.
