NAME
    nroff - emulate nroff command with groff

SYNOPSIS
    nroff [ -h ] [ -i ] [ -mname ] [ -nnum ] [ -olist ] [ -p ] [ -rcn ]
    [ -S ] [ -t ] [ -Tname ] [ -U ] [ -v ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
    The nroff script emulates the nroff command using groff.  Only ascii,
    ascii8, latin1, utf8, nippon, and cp1047 are valid arguments for the -T
    option. If an invalid or no -T option is given, nroff checks the cur-
    rent 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 troff(1). In addition, nroff silently ignores the
    options -e, -q, and -s (which are not implemented in 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, `/usr/bin'
    is used.

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