ticular terminal.

-h Use output tabs during horizontal spacing to speed output and reduce output char-

tion (bold) to n, or to zero if n is missing.

-P If this option is speciﬁed on the command line, it allows the use of the special

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LC_CTYPE determines the interpretation of text as single and/or multi-byte characters.

LANG is used to determine the search path for the -m option. LANG also determines the language in

which messages are displayed.

LC_CTYPE is not speciﬁed in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of

LANG is used

as a default for each unspeciﬁed or empty variable. If

LANG is not speciﬁed or is set to the empty string,

a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG. If any internationalization variable contains an

invalid setting, nroff behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C". See environ (5).

EXAMPLES

The following command prints the ﬁrst ﬁve pages of the document whose

nroff source ﬁle is ﬁlename:

nroff -o-5 ﬁlename

Note that there should not be a space between the

o and the - or the

- and the 5.

To print only pages 1, 3, and 4 type:

nroff -o1,3,4 ﬁlename

nroff is used with the -olist option inside a pipeline, it may cause a harmless "broken pipe" diag-
