User Commands nroff(1)
NAME
nroff - format documents for display or line-printer
SYNOPSIS
nroff [-ehiq] [-mname] [-nN] [-opagelist] [-raN] [-sN] [-
Tname] [-uN]
DESCRIPTION
The nroff utility formats text in the named files for
typewriter-like devices. See also troff(1).
If no file argument is present, nroff reads the standard
input. An argument consisting of a `-' is taken to be a file
name corresponding to the standard input.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported. Options may appear in
any order so long as they appear before the files.
-e Produces equally-spaced words in adjusted
lines, using full terminal resolution.
-h Uses output TAB characters during horizontal
spacing to speed output and reduces output
character count. TAB settings are assumed to
be every 8 nominal character widths.
-i Reads the standard input after the input
files are exhausted.
-q Does not print output that was read from an
.rd request.
-mname Prepends the macro file
/usr/share/lib/tmac/name to the input files.
-nN Numbers first generated page N.
-opagelist Prints only pages whose page numbers appear
in the comma-separated list of numbers and

ranges. A range N-M means pages N through M;
an initial -N means from the beginning to
page N; and a final N- means from N to the
end.
-raN Sets register a (one-character) to N.
-sN Stops every N pages. nroff will halt prior
to every N pages (default N=1) to allow
paper loading or changing, and will resume
upon receipt of a NEWLINE.
-Tname Prepares output for a device of the speci-
fied name. Known names are:
37 Teletype Corporation Model
37 terminal - this is the
default.
lp | tn300 GE - any line printer or
terminal without half-line

NOTES
/usr/tmp is currently a symbolic link to /var/tmp.
Previous documentation incorrectly described the numeric
register yr as being the "Last two digits of current year".
yr is in actuality the number of years since 1900. To
correctly obtain the last two digits of the current year
through the year 2099, the definition given below of string
register yy may be included in a document and subsequently
used to display a two-digit year. Notice that any other
available one- or two-character register name may be substi-
tuted for yy.
.\" definition of new string register yy--last two digits of year
.\" use yr (# of years since 1900) if it is < 100
.ie \n(yr<100 .ds yy \n(yr
.el \{ .\" else, subtract 100 from yr, store in ny
.nr ny \n(yr-100
.ie \n(ny>9 \{ .\" use ny if it is two digits
.ds yy \n(ny
.\" remove temporary number register ny
.rr ny \}
.el \{.ds yy 0
.\" if ny is one digit, append it to 0
.as yy \n(ny
.rr ny \} \}
