NAME
soelim
- eliminate .so's from nroff input
SYNOPSIS
soelim
[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.
'so /usr/lib/tmac.s
A sample usage of
soelim
would be
soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr
SEE ALSO
colcrt(1),
more(1)
BUGS
The format of the source commands must involve no strangeness -
exactly one blank must precede and no blanks follow the file name.
