SOELIM(1) BSD Reference Manual SOELIM(1) NNAAMMEE ssooeelliimm - eliminate .so's from nroff input SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS ssooeelliimm [_f_i_l_e _._._.] DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN SSooeelliimm reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1) directives of the form: .so somefile The directives need to appear at the beginning of input lines. This is useful since programs such as tbl(1) do not normally do this; it allows the placement of individual tables in separate files to be run as a part of a large document. An argument consisting of a single minus `--' is taken to be a file name corresponding to the standard input. Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using `\'' instead of `\.', i.e. 'so /usr/lib/tmac.s A sample usage of ssooeelliimm would be soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr SSEEEE AALLSSOO colcrt(1), more(1) BBUUGGSS The format of the source commands must involve no strangeness - exactly one blank must precede and no blanks follow the file name. HHIISSTTOORRYY The ssooeelliimm command appeared in 3.0BSD. 3rd Berkeley Distribution June 6, 1993 1
