NAME
     roffbib - format and print a bibliographic database

SYNOPSIS
     roffbib [-e] [-h] [-m filename] [-np] [-olist]  [-Q]  [-raN]
     [-sN] [-Tterm] [-V] [-x] [filename] ...

DESCRIPTION
     roffbib prints out all records in a bibliographic  database,
     in bibliography format rather than as footnotes or endnotes.
     Generally it is used in conjunction with sortbib(1):

          example% sortbib database | roffbib


OPTIONS
     roffbib accepts all options understood by nroff(1) except -i
     and -q.

     -e              Produce  equally-spaced  words  in  adjusted
                     lines using full terminal resolution.



     -h              Use output tabs during horizontal spacing to
                     speed  output  and  reduce  output character
                     count. TAB settings are assumed to be  every
                     8 nominal character widths.



     -m filename     Prepend        the        macro         file
                     /usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.name  to  the input
                     files. There should be a space  between  the
                     -m  and the macro filename. This set of mac-
                     ros  will  replace  the  ones   defined   in
                     /usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.bib.



     -np             Number first generated page p.



     -olist          Print only page numbers that 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; a final N- means from page N to end.

     -Q              Queue output for the phototypesetter.   Page
                     offset is set to 1 inch.



     -raN            Set register a  (one-character)  to  N.  The
                     command-line  argument  -rN1 will number the
                     references starting at 1.

                     Four command-line registers control  format-
                     ting  style  of  the bibliography, much like
                     the number registers of ms(5). The flag -rV2
                     will  double  space  the bibliography, while
                     -rV1 will double space references but single
                     space   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 specifying -rO1i
                     (capital O, not zero).



     -sN             Halt prior to every N pages for paper  load-
                     ing  or  changing (default N=1).  To resume,
                     enter NEWLINE or RETURN.



     -Tterm          Specify term as the terminal type.



     -V              Send output to the Versatec.  Page offset is
                     set to 1 inch.



     -x              If abstracts or comments are entered follow-
                     ing  the  %X  field key, roffbib will format
                     them  into  paragraphs  for   an   annotated
                     bibliography. Several %X fields may be given
                     if   several   annotation   paragraphs   are
                     desired.



FILES
     /usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.bib    file  of  macros   used   by
                                     nroff/troff
