NAME¶
roff2pdf - transform roff code into pdf mode
SYNOPSIS¶
roff2pdf |
[groffer-option ...] [--]
[filespec ...] |
The options -v and --version print the version
information of the program to standard output and exit. The options
-h and --help print a usage information of the program to
standard output and stop the program instantly.
All other options are assumed to be groffer options. They
are internally passed to groffer. They override the behavior of the
program. The options are optional, they can be omitted.
The filespec arguments correspond to the filespec
arguments of groffer. So they are either the names of existing,
readable files or - for standard input, or the name of a man page or
a groffer(1) man page search pattern. If no filespec is
specified standard input is assumed automatically.
