SOELIM(1)               NetBSD General Commands Manual               SOELIM(1)


NAME
soelim -- eliminate .so's from nroff input
SYNOPSIS
soelim [-I directory] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
soelim reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1) directives of the form: .so somefile The directives need to appear at the beginning of input lines. This is useful since programs such as 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. An argument consisting of a single minus `-' is taken to be a file name corresponding to the standard input. Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using `\'' instead of `\.', i.e. īso /usr/lib/tmac.s A sample usage of soelim would be soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr The options are as follows: -I Add the specified directory to the search path for input files.
SEE ALSO
colcrt(1), more(1)
HISTORY
The soelim command appeared in 3.0BSD.
BUGS
The format of the source commands must involve no strangeness - exactly one blank must precede and no blanks follow the file name. NetBSD 5.0.1 June 6, 1993 NetBSD 5.0.1
