@G@NROFF(@MAN1EXT@)

NAME
@g@nroff - emulate nroff command with groff

SYNOPSIS
@g@nroff [-h] [-i] [-m name] [-n num] [-o list] [-p] [-r cn] [-S] [-t] [-T name] [-U] [-v] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
The @g@nroff script emulates the nroff command using groff. Only ascii, latin1, utf8, and cp1047 are valid arguments for the -T option. If an invalid or no -T option is given, @g@nroff checks the current locale to select a default output device. It first tries the locale program, then the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and LANG, and finally the LESSCHARSET environment variable.

The -h and -c options are equivalent to grotty's options -h (using tabs in the output) and -c (using the old output scheme instead of SGR escape sequences). The -C, -i, -n, -m, -o, and -r options have the effect described in @g@troff(@MAN1EXT@). In addition, @g@nroff silently ignores the options -e, -q, and -s (which are not implemented in @g@troff). Options -p (pic), -t (tbl), -S (safer), and -U (unsafe) are passed to groff. -v shows the version number.

ENVIRONMENT

GROFF_BIN_PATH
    A colon separated list of directories in which to search for the groff executable before searching in PATH. If unset, `@BINDIR@' is used.

NOTES
This shell script is basically intended for use with man(1), so warnings are suppressed. nroff-style character definitions (in the file tty-char.tmac) are also loaded to emulate unrepresentable glyphs.
