    NAME
         troff  -  format text

    SYNOPSIS
         troff [ +n ] [ -n ] [ -sn ] [ -nn ] [ -ran ] [ -mname ] [ -t
         ] [ -f ] [ -w ] [ -a ] [ -pn ] files

    DESCRIPTION
         Troff formats text for a Graphic Systems phototypesetter ac-
         cording  to  control  lines  embedded in the text files.  It
         reads the standard input if no file arguments are given.  An
         argument  of  just  ``-'' refers to the standard input.  The
         non-file option arguments are interpreted as follows:

         +n        Commence typesetting at the first page numbered  n
                   or larger.

         -n        Stop after page n.

         -sn       Print  output  in  groups of n pages, stopping the
                   typesetter after each group.

         -nn       First generated (not necessarily printed) page  is
                   given the number n; simulates ``.pn n''.

         -ran      Set number register a to the value n.

         -mname    Prepends  a  standard  macro file; simulates ``.so
                   /usr/lib/tmac.name''.

         -t        Place output on standard  output  instead  of  the
                   phototypesetter.

         -f        Refrain  from  feeding  out paper and stopping the
                   phototypesetter at the end.

         -w        Wait until phototypesetter is available,  if  cur-
                   rently busy.

         -a        Send  a  printable approximation of the results to
                   the standard output.

         -pn       Print all characters with point-size n  while  re-
                   taining all prescribed spacings and motions.
