GNROFF(1)GNROFF(1)NAMEgnroff - emulate nroff command with groff
SYNOPSISgnroff [ -CchipStUv ] [ -dcs ] [ -Mdir ] [ -mname ] [ -nnum ]
[ -olist ] [ -rcn ] [ -Tname ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The gnroff script emulates the nroff command using groff. Only ascii,
latin1, utf8, and cp1047 are valid arguments for the -T option, select‐
ing the output encoding emitted by grotty, groff's TTY output device.
If an invalid or no -T option is given, gnroff 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 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, and -r 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 shows the version number.
ENVIRONMENT
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 warn‐
ings are suppressed. nroff-style character definitions (in the file
tty-char.tmac) are also loaded to emulate unrepresentable glyphs.
