NAME
    soelim - interpret .so requests in groff input

SYNOPSIS
    soelim [ -Cv ] [ -Idir ] [ files... ]

    It is possible  to have whitespace between the -I command line option
    and its parameter.

DESCRIPTION
    soelim reads files and replaces lines of the form

    .so file

    by the contents of file.  It is useful if files included with so need
    to be preprocessed.  Normally, soelim should be invoked with the -s
    option of groff.

    Note that there must be no whitespace between the leading dot and the
    two characters `s' and `o'. Otherwise, only groff interprets the .so
    request (and soelim ignores it).

OPTIONS
    -C   Recognize .so even when followed by a character other than space
    or newline.

    -Idir This option may  be used to specify a directory to search for
    files (both those on the command line and  those named in .so
    lines). The current directory is always searched first. This
    option may be specified more than once, the directories will be
    searched in the  order specified. No directory search is per-
    formed for files specified using an absolute path.

    -v   Print the version number.
