Unlike the case for Unix programs that use getopt(), all troff options that take arguments must be written as one word. That is, ``-n 1'' and ``-n1'' are different, and only ``-n1'' works as intended.

pages

-o -a,b-c,d,e-

Print only pages

-a

from the beginning to page a,

b-c

from b to c,

d

d,

e-

and from e to the end of the document.

-n N

Number the first generated page N.

-a N

Wait for a newline every N pages.

-m name

Read /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.name before the input.

-i

Read standard input after the input files are exhausted (a trailing - should have the same effect.)

-t

(troff) Write to standard output, not to the phototypesetter.

-a

(troff) Print an ascii-representation of the output to stdout.

-z

Don't produce formatted output, only error messages.

-raN

Set register a (one character) to value N.

-q

Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the .rd request. (Huh?)

-h

(nroff) Use tabs for output spacing. Assume 8 character tabs.

-Tname

(nroff) Output terminal type is name.

-e

(nroff) Produce equally-spaced words in adjusted lines, using full terminal resolution. I can't see this working.

-p N

(troff) Print all characters in font size N, but space them as usual.
