grotty - groff driver for typewriter-like devices
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
ggrroottttyy [ --hhffbbuuooddBBUUvv ] [ --FF_d_i_r ] [ _f_i_l_e_s... ]
It is possible to have whitespace between the --FF option
and its parameter.
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
ggrroottttyy translates the output of GNU ttrrooffff into a form
suitable for typewriter-like devices. Normally ggrroottttyy
should be invoked by using the ggrrooffff command with a
--TTaasscciiii, --TTllaattiinn11 or --TTuuttff88 option on ASCII based systems,
and with --TTccpp11004477 on EBCDIC based hosts. If no files are
given, ggrroottttyy will read the standard input. A filename of
-- will also cause ggrroottttyy to read the standard input. Out
put is written to the standard output.
Normally ggrroottttyy prints a bold character _c using the
sequence `_c BACKSPACE _c' and a italic character _c by the
sequence `__ BACKSPACE _c'. These sequences can be dis
played on a terminal by piping through uull(1). Pagers such
as mmoorree(1) or lleessss(1) are also able to display these
sequences. Use either --BB or --UU when piping into lleessss(1);
use --bb when piping into mmoorree(1). There is no need to fil
ter the output through ccooll(1) since ggrroottttyy never outputs
reverse line feeds.
The font description file may contain a command
iinntteerrnnaallnnaammee _n
where _n is a decimal integer. If the 01 bit in _n is set,
then the font will be treated as an italic font; if the 02
bit is set, then it will be treated as a bold font. The
code field in the font description field gives the code
which will be used to output the character. This code can
also be used in the \\NN escape sequence in ttrrooffff.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
--FF_d_i_r Prepend directory _d_i_r//ddeevv_n_a_m_e to the search path
for font and device description files; _n_a_m_e is the
name of the device, usually aasscciiii, llaattiinn11, uuttff88, or
ccpp11004477.
--hh Use horizontal tabs in the output. Tabs are
assumed to be set every 8 columns.
--ff Use form feeds in the output. A form feed will be
output at the end of each page that has no output
on its last line.
--bb Suppress the use of overstriking for bold charac
ters.
--uu Suppress the use of underlining for italic charac
ters.
--BB Use only overstriking for bold-italic characters.
--UU Use only underlining for bold-italic characters.
--oo Suppress overstriking (other than for bold or
underlined characters).
--dd Ignore all \\DD commands. Without this ggrroottttyy will
render \\DD''ll......'' commands that have at least at
least one zero argument (and so are either horizon
tal or vertical) using --, || and ++ characters.
--vv Print the version number.
