roff2x(1)                              General Commands Manual                             roff2x(1)



NAME
       roff2x - transform roff code into x mode

SYNOPSIS
       roff2x [groffer-option ...] [--] [filespec ...]

       roff2x -h
       roff2x --help

       roff2x -v
       roff2x --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.
