Name
       roffbib - run off bibliographic database

Syntax
       roffbib [options] [file...]

Description
       The command prints out all records in a bibliographic database, in bib‐
       liography format rather than as footnotes or endnotes.  Generally it is
       used in conjunction with

       sortbib	database | roffbib

Options
       The command accepts most of the options understood by nroff(1).

       -Tterm	   Uses	 specified  name  as terminal type for which output is
		   prepared.

       -x	   Suppresses the printing of abstracts.

       If abstracts or comments are entered following the %X field  key,  for‐
       mats  them  into	 paragraphs for an annotated bibliography.  Several %X
       fields may be given if several annotation paragraphs are desired.

       -e     Formats text with equally spaced	words,	justified  lines,  and
	      full resolution.

       -h     Uses  tabs in horizontal spacing to speed output and reduce out‐
	      put character count.  Tab characters are assumed to be  every  8
	      nominal character widths.

       -n     Uses specified number (-nN) as first page to be printed.

       -o     Uses  specified  list  (-olist)  as only pages to be printed.  A
	      range N-M means pages N through M.  An initial -N means from the
	      beginning to page N.  A final N- means from N to the end.

       -s     Stops after specified number of pages (-sn).

       -m mac Specifies a user-defined set of macros with space between -m and
	      the macro file name.  This  set  of  macros  replaces  the  ones
	      defined in /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.bib.

       -V     Sends output to the Versatec.

       -Q     Queues output for the phototypesetter.

       -raN   Sets named register a to specified value N.

       Four  command-line registers control formatting style of the bibliogra‐
       phy, much like the number registers of ms(7).  The  command-line	 argu‐
       ment  -rN1  numbers  the references starting at one (1).	 The flag -rV2
       double spaces the bibliography, while -rV1 double spaces references but
       single  spaces  annotation  paragraphs.	The line length can be changed
       from the default 6.5 inches to 6 inches with the	 -rL6i	argument,  and
       the  page offset can be set from the default of 0 to one inch by speci‐
       fying -rO1i (capital O, not zero).  Note: with the -V and -Q flags  the
       default page offset is already one inch.
