NAME¶
roff2x - transform roff code into x mode
SYNOPSIS¶
[
groffer_option...] [
--]
[
filespec...]
-h |
--help -v |
--version
The options
-v and
--version print the version information of the
program to standard output and exit. The options
-h and
--help
print a usage information of the program to standard output and stop the
program instantly.
All other options are assumed to be
groffer options. They are internally
passed to
groffer. They override the behavior of the program. The
options are optional, they can be omitted.
The
filespec arguments correspond to the
filespec arguments of
groffer. So they are either the names of existing, readable files or
- for standard input, or the name of a man page or a
groffer(1)
man page search pattern. If no
filespec is specified standard input is
assumed automatically.
