NAME
       soelim - Processes .so requests in nroff input

SYNOPSIS
       soelim [file...]

DESCRIPTION
       The soelim command reads the specified files or standard input and per‐
       forms the textual inclusion implied by nroff requests of the form:

       .so file

       When these requests appear at the beginning of  input  lines  (see  SEE
       ALSO).	This  is  useful since commands such as tbl do not normally do
       this; the soelim command allows the placement of individual  tables  in
       separate	 files	to be run as a part of a large document.  The original
       and included text are written to the standard output.

       Note that exactly one space must precede and no spaces can  follow  the
       filename.   A  flag  consisting of a - (dash) is taken to be a filename
       corresponding to standard input.	 Inclusion can be suppressed by	 using
       a   '   (single	 quote)	  instead   of	a  .  (dot)  as	 follows:  'so
       /usr/share/lib/tmac.s

EXAMPLES
       In the following example, the soelim command is used to preprocess file
       inclusion (.so) requests: soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms

       Because the tbl command does not process the nroff requests, the soelim
       command is used to preprocess them.  The output is then passed  to  the
       tbl  command.   This  facilitates  the  placement of tables in separate
       files that can be included to form a large document.
