[1mNAME
     [0mnroff - text formatting

[1mSYNOPSIS
     nroff [0m[ option ] ...  [ file ] ...

[1mDESCRIPTION
     [0m_N_r_o_f_f formats text in the named _f_i_l_e_s for typewriter-like
     devices.  See also _t_r_o_f_f(_1). The full capabilities of _n_r_o_f_f
     are described in the _N_r_o_f_f/_T_r_o_f_f _U_s_e_r'_s _M_a_n_u_a_l.

     If no _f_i_l_e argument is present, the standard input is read.
     An argument consisting of a single minus ([1m-[0m) is taken to be
     a file name corresponding to the standard input.

     The options, which may appear in any order so long as they
     appear _b_e_f_o_r_e the files, are:

     [1m-o[0m_l_i_s_t Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the
	    comma-separated _l_i_s_t of numbers and ranges.  A range
	    _N[1m-[0m_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.

     [1m-n[0m_N    Number first generated page _N.

     [1m-s[0m_N    Stop every _N pages.  _N_r_o_f_f will halt prior to every _N
	    pages (default _N=1) to allow paper loading or chang-
	    ing, and will resume upon receipt of a newline.

     [1m-m[0m_n_a_m_e Prepend the macro file [1m/usr/lib/tmac/tmac.[0m_n_a_m_e to the
	    input _f_i_l_e_s.

     [1m-r[0m_a_N   Set register _a (one-character) to _N.

     [1m-i     [0mRead standard input after the input files are
	    exhausted.

     [1m-q     [0mInvoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the [1mrd
	    [0mrequest.

     [1m-T[0m_n_a_m_e Prepare output for specified terminal.  Known _n_a_m_e_s
	    are [1m37 [0mfor the (default) Teletype Corporation Model
	    37 terminal, [1mtn300 [0mfor the GE TermiNet 300 (or any
	    terminal without half-line capability), [1m300S [0mfor the
	    DASI-300S, [1m300 [0mfor the DASI-300, and [1m450 [0mfor the
	    DASI-450 (Diablo Hyterm).

     [1m-e     [0mProduce equally-spaced words in adjusted lines, using
	    full terminal resolution.

     [1m-h     [0mUse output tabs during horizontal spacing to speed
