NAME
roff2dvi - transform roff code into dvi mode
SYNOPSIS
roff2dvi [groffer-option ...] [--] [filespec ...]
roff2dvi -h
roff2dvi --help
roff2dvi -v
roff2dvi --version
The options -v and --version print the version information of the pro-
gram to standard output and exit. The options -h and --help print a
usage information of the program to standard output and stop the pro-
gram instantly.
All other options are assumed to be groffer options. They are inter-
nally passed to groffer. They override the behavior of the program.
The options are optional, they can be omitted.
The filespec arguments correspond to the filespec arguments of groffer.
So they are either the names of existing, readable files or - for stan-
dard input, or the name of a man page or a groffer(1) man page search
pattern. If no filespec is specified standard input is assumed auto-
matically.
