NAME              suftab -- suffix table

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION       suftab is a table of suffixes used to guide hyphenation in
                  roff. Its first 12 words are not used (see a.out format) Its
                  next 26 words point to the beginning of the subtables for
                  each of the 26 initial letters of a suffix. The first entry
                  for each suffix is a count of the number of bytes in the
                  suffix. The second byte of each entry is a flag indicating
                  the type of suffix. The suffix itself follows; the high bits
                  of each letter indicate where the hyphens come. The table
                  for each initial suffix letter ends with a zero count byte.
