    NAME
         nroff  -  format text

    SYNOPSIS
         nroff [ +n ] [ -n ] [ -nn ] [ -ran ] [ -mx ] [ -s ] [ -h ] [
         -q ] files

    DESCRIPTION
         Nroff formats text according to control  lines  embedded  in
         the  text  files.  Nroff 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 in-
         terpreted as follows:

         +n        Output commences at the first page whose page num-
                   ber is n or larger.

         -n        Printing stops after page n.

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

         -ran      Set number register to the value n.

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

         -s        Stop  prior  to each page to permit paper loading.
                   Printing is restarted by typing a `newline'  char-
                   acter.

         -h        Spaces  are  replaced  where possible with tabs to
                   speed up output (or reduce the size of the  output
                   file).

         -q        Prompt  names  for  insertions are not printed and
                   the bell character is sent instead; the  insertion
                   is not echoed.

         /usr/lib/suftab suffix hyphenation tables
         /tmp/rtm?       temporary
