       g\bgr\bro\bot\btt\bty\by  translates  the  output  of  GNU t\btr\bro\bof\bff\bf into a form
       suitable for  typewriter-like  devices.   Normally  g\bgr\bro\bot\btt\bty\by
       should  be  invoked  by  using  the  g\bgr\bro\bof\bff\bf  command with a
       -\b-T\bTa\bas\bsc\bci\bii\bi or -\b-T\bTl\bla\bat\bti\bin\bn1\b1 option.  If no files are given, g\bgr\bro\bot\btt\bty\by
       will  read  the standard input.  A filename of -\b- will also
       cause g\bgr\bro\bot\btt\bty\by to read the standard input.  Output is  writ-
       ten to the standard output.

       Normally  g\bgr\bro\bot\btt\bty\by  prints  a  bold  character  _\bc  using the
       sequence `_\bc BACKSPACE _\bc' and an italic character _\bc by  the
       sequence  `_\b_  BACKSPACE  _\bc'.   These sequences can be dis-
       played on a terminal by piping through u\bul\bl(1).  Pagers such
       as  m\bmo\bor\bre\be(1)  or  l\ble\bes\bss\bs(1)  are  also  able to display these
       sequences.  Use either -\b-B\bB or -\b-U\bU when piping into  l\ble\bes\bss\bs(1);
       use -\b-b\bb when piping into m\bmo\bor\bre\be(1).  There is no need to fil-
       ter the output through c\bco\bol\bl(1) since g\bgr\bro\bot\btt\bty\by  never  outputs
       reverse line feeds.

       The font description file may contain a command

              i\bin\bnt\bte\ber\brn\bna\bal\bln\bna\bam\bme\be _\bn

       where  _\bn is a decimal integer.  If the 01 bit in _\bn 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 \\b\N\bN escape sequence in t\btr\bro\bof\bff\bf.

O\bOP\bPT\bTI\bIO\bON\bNS\bS
       -\b-F\bF_\bd_\bi_\br  Search  the  directory  _\bd_\bi_\br/\b/d\bde\bev\bv_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be  for  font  and
              device  description  files; _\bn_\ba_\bm_\be is the name of the
              device, usually a\bas\bsc\bci\bii\bi or l\bla\bat\bti\bin\bn1\b1.

       -\b-h\bh     Use  horizontal  tabs  in  the  output.   Tabs  are
              assumed to be set every 8 columns.

       -\b-f\bf     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.

       -\b-b\bb     Suppress  the  use of overstriking for bold charac-
              ters.

       -\b-u\bu     Suppress the use of underlining for italic  charac-
              ters.

       -\b-B\bB     Use only overstriking for bold-italic characters.

       -\b-U\bU     Use only underlining for bold-italic characters.

       -\b-o\bo     Suppress  overstriking  (other  than  for  bold  or
              underlined characters).

       -\b-d\bd     Ignore all \\b\D\bD commands.  Without this  g\bgr\bro\bot\btt\bty\by  will
              render  \\b\D\bD'\b'l\bl.\b..\b..\b.'\b'   commands  that have at least one
              zero argument (and so are either horizontal or ver-
              tical) using -\b-, |\b| and +\b+ characters.

       -\b-v\bv     Print the version number.
