Sh NAME
Nm soelim
Nd eliminate .so's from nroff input
Sh SYNOPSIS
Nm
Op Fl I Ar directory
Op Ar file ...
Sh DESCRIPTION
Nm
reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the textual
inclusion implied by the
Xr nroff 1
directives of the form:
Pp
Dl \&.so somefile
Pp
The directives need to appear at the beginning of input lines.
This is useful since programs such as
Xr tbl 1
do not normally do this; it allows the placement of individual tables
in separate files to be run as a part of a large document.
Pp
An argument consisting of a single minus
Ql Fl
is taken to be
a file name corresponding to the standard input.
Pp
Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using
Ql \e'
instead of
Ql \e. ,
i.e.
Pp
Dl \'so /usr/lib/tmac.s
Pp
A sample usage of
Nm
would be
Pp
Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
soelim exum?.n \&| tbl \&| nroff \-ms \&| col \&| lpr
Ed
Pp
The options are as follows:
Bl -tag -width indent
It Fl I
Add the specified directory to the search path for input files.
El
Sh SEE ALSO
Xr colcrt 1 ,
Xr more 1
Sh HISTORY
The
Nm
command appeared in
Bx 1 .
Sh BUGS
The format of the source commands must involve no strangeness \-
exactly one blank must precede and no blanks follow the file name.
