14 !!SYNOPSIS

17 __zsoelim__ [[__-CVh__] [[''file'' ...]
18 !!DESCRIPTION
19
20
21 __zsoelim__ parses ''file'' arguments, or if none are
22 specified, its standard input for lines of the
23 form:
24
25
26 __.so__ __filename''''
27
28
29 These requests are replaced by the contents of the
30 ''filename'' specified. If the request cannot be met,
31 __zsoelim__ looks for ''filename.ext'' where
32 ''.ext'' can be one of __.gz__, __.Z__ or
33 __.z__. Other extension types may be supported depending
34 upon compile time options. If the request can be met by a
35 compressed file, this file is decompressed using an
36 appropriate decompressor and its output is used to satisfy
37 the request.

40 Traditionally, __soelim__ programs were used to allow
41 roff preprocessors to be able to preprocess the files
42 referred to by the requests. This particular version was
43 written to circumvent problems created by support for
44 compressed manual pages.

51 This flag is available for compatibility with other
52 __soelim__ programs. Its use is to enable .so requests
53 followed by something other than whitespace. As this is
54 already the default behaviour, it is ignored.
