NROFF(1) NROFF(1)

NAME
       nroff - emulate nroff command with groff

SYNOPSIS
       nnrrooffff [ -CCcchhiippSSttUUvv ] [ -ddcs ] [ -mmname ] [ -nnnum ] [ -oolist ] [ -rrcn ]
             [ -TTname ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       The nnrrooffff script emulates the nnrrooffff command using groff.   Only  aasscciiii,
       llaattiinn11, uuttff88, and ccpp11004477 are valid arguments for the -TT option, select-
       ing the output encoding emitted by ggrroottttyy, groff's TTY  output  device.
       If an invalid or no -TT option is given, nnrrooffff checks the current locale
       to select a default output device.  It first tries the llooccaallee  program,
       then  the environment variables LLCCAALLLL, LLCCCCTTYYPPEE, and LLAANNGG, and finally
       the LLEESSSSCCHHAARRSSEETT environment variable.

       The -hh and -cc options are equivalent to ggrroottttyy's options -hh (using tabs
       in  the  output)  and  -cc  (using  the old output scheme instead of SGR
       escape sequences).  The -dd, -CC, -ii, -mm, -nn, -oo, and -rr options have the
       effect  described in ttrrooffff(1).  In addition, nnrrooffff silently ignores the
       options -ee, -qq, and -ss (which are not implemented in  ttrrooffff).   Options
       -pp  (pic),  -tt  (tbl), -SS (safer), and -UU (unsafe) are passed to ggrrooffff.
       -vv shows the version number.

ENVIRONMENT       GGRROOFFFFBBIINNPPAATTHH
              A colon separated list of directories in which to search for the
              ggrrooffff executable before searching in PATH.  If unset, `/usr/bin'
              is used.

NNOOTTEESS
       This shell script is basically intended for use with mmaann(1),  so  warn-
       ings  are  suppressed.   nroff-style character definitions (in the file
       tty-char.tmac) are also loaded to emulate unrepresentable glyphs.
