_\bN_\br_\bo_\bf_\bf formats text in the named _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\bs for typewriter-like
devices. See also _\bt_\br_\bo_\bf_\bf(_\b1). The full capabilities of _\bn_\br_\bo_\bf_\bf
are described in the _\bN_\br_\bo_\bf_\bf/_\bT_\br_\bo_\bf_\bf _\bU_\bs_\be_\br'_\bs _\bM_\ba_\bn_\bu_\ba_\bl.
If no _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be argument is present, the standard input is read.
An argument consisting of a single minus (-\b-) is taken to be
a file name corresponding to the standard input.
The options, which may appear in any order so long as they
appear _\bb_\be_\bf_\bo_\br_\be the files, are:
-\b-o\bo_\bl_\bi_\bs_\bt Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the
comma-separated _\bl_\bi_\bs_\bt of numbers and ranges. A range
_\bN-\b-_\bM means pages _\bN through _\bM; an initial -_\bN means from
the beginning to page _\bN; and a final _\bN- means from _\bN
to the end.
-\b-n\bn_\bN Number first generated page _\bN.
-\b-s\bs_\bN Stop every _\bN pages. _\bN_\br_\bo_\bf_\bf will halt prior to every _\bN
pages (default _\bN=1) to allow paper loading or chang-
ing, and will resume upon receipt of a newline.
-\b-m\bm_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be Prepend the macro file /\b/u\bus\bsr\br/\b/l\bli\bib\bb/\b/t\btm\bma\bac\bc/\b/t\btm\bma\bac\bc.\b._\bn_\ba_\bm_\be to the
input _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\bs.
-\b-r\br_\ba_\bN Set register _\ba (one-character) to _\bN.
-\b-i\bi Read standard input after the input files are
exhausted.
-\b-q\bq Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the r\brd\bd
request.
-\b-T\bT_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be Prepare output for specified terminal. Known _\bn_\ba_\bm_\be_\bs
are:
3\b37\b7 for the Teletype Corporation Model 37 terminal,
c\bcr\brt\bt the default; linked to lpr and tn300, for the GE
TermiNet 300 (or any terminal without reverse-line
or half-line capability),
3\b30\b00\b0 for the DTC 300,

3\b30\b02\b2 for the DTC 302S and the DTC 300S,
3\b38\b82\b2 for the DTC 382,
4\b45\b50\b0 for the DTC 450 and the IPSI 1622,
8\b83\b33\b3 for the AJ 832/833,
e\bep\bps\bso\bon\bn
for the Epson FX80,
i\bit\bto\boh\bh for the C:ITOH Prowriter
n\bne\bec\bc for the NEC-55?0/77?0 Spinwriter, with the
Courier-72/Manifold thimble,
n\bne\bec\bc-\b-t\bt
for the NEC-55?0/77?0 Spinwriter, with the Tech-
Math/Times-Roman thimble,
n\bne\bec\bc2\b25\b5-\b-t\bt
for the NEC-5525/7725 Spinwriter, with the Tech-
Math/Times-Roman thimble,
q\bqu\bum\bme\be for the Qume Sprint 5 or 9,
x\bx-\b-e\bec\bcs\bs
for the Xerox/Diablo 1730/630, extended character
set,
x\bxe\ber\bro\box\bx
for the Xerox 17?0 or the Diablo 16?0.
Most of these also have versions for 12 pitch; see
/_\bu_\bs_\br/_\bl_\bi_\bb/_\bt_\be_\br_\bm/_\bR_\bE_\bA_\bD_\bM_\bE for more information.
-\b-e\be Produce equally-spaced words in adjusted lines, using
full terminal resolution.
-\b-h\bh Use output tabs during horizontal spacing to speed out-
put and reduce output character count. Tab settings
are assumed to be every 8 nominal character widths.
