roff2dvi(1)                            General Commands Manual                           roff2dvi(1)



NAME
       roff2dvi - transform roff code into dvi mode

SYNOPSIS
       roff2dvi [groffer-option ...] [--] [filespec ...]

       roff2dvi -h
       roff2dvi --help

       roff2dvi -v
       roff2dvi --version

       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.
