DITROFF(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual DITROFF(1) NAME troff - text formatting and typesetting SYNOPSIS ditroff [ option ] ... [ file ] ... DESCRIPTION _D_i_t_r_o_f_f formats text in the named _f_i_l_e_s for printing on one of a few printers. Different output devices are selected through the -P option. Output will go to those devices unless one of the -t or -a options is specified. _T_r_o_f_f's 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 are: -o_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. -n_N Number first generated page _N. -m_n_a_m_e Prepend the macro file /usr/lib/ditmac/tmac._n_a_m_e to the input _f_i_l_e_s. -P_d_e_s_t Prepare output for typesetter _d_e_s_t. -Pva (or -Pvarian ) = Benson-Varian Raster plotter (default), -Pvp (or -Pversatec ) = Versatec Electrostatic Plotter, -Pip (or -Pimagen ) = Canon/Imagen Laser Printer, -Pter = Line Printer (or terminals if -t is specified). -I Prepare the ditroff output for the imagen printer. -W Prepare the ditroff output for the versatec printer. -t Send the ditroff output to standard output. -u_N Set the emboldening factor to _N. -r_a_N Set register _a (one character name) to _N. -i Read standard input after the input files are exhausted. -q Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rd request.

FILES /usr/lib/ditmac/tmac.* standard macro files /usr/lib/font/dev* font width tables BUGS The -F option is not very useful since the same directory must be available on the machine that drives the printer.
