NAME
       gnroff - emulate nroff command with groff

SYNOPSIS
       gnroff [-CchipStUvwW] [-dcs] [-Mdir] [-mname] [-nnum] [-olist] [-rcn]
	      [-Tname] [file ...]
       gnroff --help
       gnroff -v | --version

DESCRIPTION
       The gnroff 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  nei‐
       ther  the GROFF_TYPESETTER environment variable nor the -T command line
       option (which overrides the environment variable) specifies  a  (valid)
       device,	gnroff	checks	the  current locale to select a default output
       device.	It first tries the locale program, then the environment	 vari‐
       ables  LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and LANG, and finally the LESSCHARSET environ‐
       ment 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 gtroff(1).  In addition, gnroff
       silently ignores the options -e, -q, and -s (which are not  implemented
       in  gtroff).   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,
	      `/opt/freeware/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.
