    NAME
         nroff - text formatting

    SYNOPSIS
         nroff [ option ] ...  [ file ] ...

    DESCRIPTION
         Nroff formats text in the named files for typewriter-like
         devices.  See also troff(1). The full capabilities of nroff
         are described in the Nroff/Troff User's Manual.

         If no file argument is present, the standard input is read.
         An argument consisting of a single minus (-) 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 before the files, are:

         -olist Print 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.

         -nN    Number first generated page N.

         -sN    Stop every N pages.  Nroff 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.

         -mname Prepend the macro file /usr/share/tmac/tmac.name to
    	    the input files.

         -raN   Set register a (one-character) to N.

         -i     Read standard input after the input files are
    	    exhausted.

         -q     Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rd
    	    request.

         -Tname Prepare output for specified terminal.  Known names
    	    are 37 for the (default) Teletype Corporation Model
    	    37 terminal, tn300 for the GE TermiNet 300 (or any
    	    terminal without half-line capability), 300S for the
    	    DASI-300S, 300 for the DASI-300, and 450 for the
    	    DASI-450 (Diablo Hyterm).

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

         -h     Use output tabs during horizontal spacing to speed
