NAME
       gsoelim - interpret .so requests in groff input

SYNOPSIS
       gsoelim [ -Crtv ] [ -Idir ] [ files... ]

       It  is  possible	 to have whitespace between the -I command line option
       and its parameter.

DESCRIPTION
       gsoelim reads files and replaces lines of the form

	      .so file

       by the contents of file.	 It is useful if files included with  so  need
       to  be  preprocessed.   Normally, gsoelim should be invoked with the -s
       option of groff.

       Note that there must be no whitespace between the leading dot  and  the
       two  characters	`s' and `o'.  Otherwise, only groff interprets the .so
       request (and soelim ignores it).

OPTIONS
       -C     Recognize .so even when followed by a character other than space
	      or newline.

       -Idir  This  option  may	 be  used to specify a directory to search for
	      files (both those on the command line and	 those	named  in  .so
	      requests).   The	current	 directory  is	always searched first.
	      This option may be specified more	 than  once,  the  directories
	      will be searched in the order specified.	No directory search is
	      performed for files specified using an absolute path.

       -r     Do not add .lf requests (for general use, with non-groff files).

       -t     Don't emit .lf requests but TeX  comment	lines  (starting  with
	      `%') giving the current file and line number.

       -v     Print the version number.

USAGE
       The normal processing sequence of groff is this:

		 input	      sourced
		 file	       file
		   |		 |
		   v		 v
	       preprocessor -> troff -> postprocessor
					     |
					     v
					  output
					   file

       That  is,  files	 sourced with .so are normally read only by troff (the
       actual formatter).  soelim is not required for troff to source files.

       If a file to be sourced should also be preprocessed, it must already be
       read  before  the  input file passes through the preprocessor.  This is
       handled by soelim:

		 input
		 file
		   |
		   v
		 soelim -> preprocessor -> troff -> postprocessor
		   ^					 |
		   |					 v
		sourced				      output
		 file				       file
