dSynopsis
The command line is parsed according to the usual GNU convention.
The whitespace between a command line option and its argument is
optional.
Options can be grouped behind a single
ortOpt
(minus character).
A filename of
ortOpt
(minus character) denotes the standard input.
DESCRIPTION
This document describes the
groff
program, the main front-end for the
groff
document formatting system.
The
groff
program and macro suite is the implementation of a
roff(7)
system within the free software collection
The
groff
system has all features of the classical
roff,
but adds many extensions.
The
groff
program allows to control the whole
groff
system by command line options.
This is a great simplification in comparison to the classical case (which
uses pipes only).
OPTIONS
As
groff
is a wrapper program for
troff
both programs share a set of options.
But the
groff
program has some additional, native options and gives a new meaning to
some
troff
options.
On the other hand, not all
troff
options can be fed into
groff.
Native groff Options
The following options either do not exist for
troff
or are differently interpreted by
groff.
[tDef e]
Preprocess with
eqn.
[tDef g]
Preprocess with
grn.
[tDef G]
Preprocess with
grap.
[tDef h help]
Print a help message.
[tDef I dir]
Add search directory for
soelim(1).
This option implies the
ortOpt s
option.
[tDef l]
Send the output to a spooler program for printing.
The command that should be used for this is specified by the
print
command in the device description file, see
groff_font(5).
If this command is not present, the output is piped into the
lpr(1)
program by default.
See options
ortOpt L
and
ortOpt X
[tDef L arg]
Pass
arg
to the spooler program.
Several arguments should be passed with a separate
ortOpt L
option each.
Note that
groff
does not prepend
ortOpt(a minus sign) to
arg
before passing it
