22 !!DESCRIPTION
23
24
25 The __nroff__ script emulates the __nroff__ command
26 using groff. Only __ascii__, __ascii8__,
27 __latin1__, __utf8__, __nippon__, and __cp1047__
28 are valid arguments for the __-T__ option. If an invalid
29 or no __-T__ option is given, __nroff__ checks the
30 current locale to select a default output device. It first
31 tries the __locale__ program, then the environment
32 variables __LC_ALL__, __LC_CTYPE__, and __LANG__,
33 and finally the __LESSCHARSET__ environment
34 variable.
35
36
37 The __-h__ option is equivalent to the __grotty__'s
38 __-h__ option (i.e., using tabs in the output). The
39 __-i__, __-n__, __-m__, __-o__ and __-r__
40 options have the effect described in troff(1). In
41 addition, __nroff__ silently ignores the options
42 __-e__, __-q__, and __-s__ (which are not
43 implemented in __troff__). Options __-p__ (pic),
44 __-t__ (tbl), __-S__ (safer), and __-U__ (unsafe)
45 are passed to __groff__. __-S__ is passed by default.
46 __-v__ shows the version number.

50 __GROFF_BIN_PATH__
51
52
53 A colon separated list of directories in which to search for
54 the __groff__ executable before searching in PATH. If
55 unset, `/usr/bin' is used.
56 !!NOTES

58
59 This shell script is basically intended for use with
60 man(1), so warnings are suppressed. nroff-style
61 character definitions (in the file tty-char.tmac) are also
62 loaded to emulate unrepresentable glyphs.
