DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN _T_r_o_f_f formats text in the named _f_i_l_e_s for printing on a Graphic Systems C/A/T phototypesetter; _n_r_o_f_f is used for for typewriter-like devices. Their capabilities 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 (--) 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: --oo_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--_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_N Number first generated page _N. --ss_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. _T_r_o_f_f will stop the phototypesetter every _N pages, produce a trailer to allow changing cassettes, and resume when the typesetter's start button is pressed. --mm_n_a_m_e Prepend the macro file //uussrr//lliibb//ttmmaacc//ttmmaacc.._n_a_m_e to the input _f_i_l_e_s. --rr_a_N Set register _a (one-character) to _N. --ii Read standard input after the input files are exhausted. --qq Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rrdd request. _T_r_o_f_f _o_n_l_y --tt Direct output to the standard output instead of the phototypesetter. --ff Refrain from feeding out paper and stopping Printed 7/9/88 April 29, 1985 1 TROFF(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual TROFF(1) phototypesetter at the end of the run. --ww Wait until phototypesetter is available, if currently busy. --bb Report whether the phototypesetter is busy or avail- able. No text processing is done. --aa Send a printable ASCII approximation of the results to the standard output. --ppN Print all characters in point size _N while retaining all prescribed spacings and motions, to reduce photo- typesetter elapsed time. --FF_f_o_n_t_d_i_r The directory _f_o_n_t_d_i_r contains the font width tables instead of the default directory /usr/lib/fonts. This option can be used to produce output for devices besides the phototypesetter. If the file /_u_s_r/_a_d_m/_t_r_a_c_c_t is writable, _t_r_o_f_f keeps photo- typesetter accounting records there. The integrity of that file may be secured by making _t_r_o_f_f a 'set user-id' program.
