+ g\bgr\bro\bof\bff\bf is a front-end to the groff document formatting sys-
+ tem. Normally it runs the t\btr\bro\bof\bff\bf program and a postproces-
+ sor appropriate for the selected device. Available
+ devices are:
+
+ p\bps\bs For PostScript printers and previewers
+
+ d\bdv\bvi\bi For TeX dvi format
+
+ X\bX7\b75\b5 For a 75 dpi X11 previewer
+
+ X\bX1\b10\b00\b0 For a 100dpi X11 previewer
+
+ a\bas\bsc\bci\bii\bi For typewriter-like devices
+
+ l\bla\bat\bti\bin\bn1\b1 For typewriter-like devices using the ISO Latin-1
+ character set.
+
+ The postprocessor to be used for a device is specified by
+ the p\bpo\bos\bst\btp\bpr\bro\bo command in the device description file. This
+ can be overridden with the -\b-X\bX option.
+
+ The default device is p\bps\bs. It can optionally preprocess
+ with any of p\bpi\bic\bc, e\beq\bqn\bn, t\btb\bbl\bl, r\bre\bef\bfe\ber\br, or s\bso\boe\bel\bli\bim\bm.\b.
+
+ Options without an argument can be grouped behind a single
+ -\b-. A filename of -\b- denotes the standard input.
+
+ The g\bgr\bro\bog\bg command can be used to guess the correct groff
+ command to use to format a file.
+
+O\bOP\bPT\bTI\bIO\bON\bNS\bS
+ -\b-h\bh Print a help message.
+
+ -\b-e\be Preprocess with eqn.
+
+ -\b-t\bt Preprocess with tbl.
+
+ -\b-p\bp Preprocess with pic.
+
+ -\b-s\bs Preprocess with soelim.

+
+
+ -\b-R\bR Preprocess with refer. No mechanism is provided
+ for passing arguments to r\bre\bef\bfe\ber\br because most refer
+ options have equivalent commands which can be
+ included in the file. See r\bre\bef\bfe\ber\br(1) for more
+ details.
+
+ -\b-v\bv Make programs run by g\bgr\bro\bof\bff\bf print out their version
+ number.
+
+ -\b-V\bV Print the pipeline on stdout instead of executing
+ it.
+
+ -\b-z\bz Suppress output from t\btr\bro\bof\bff\bf. Only error messages
+ will be printed.
+
+ -\b-Z\bZ Do not postprocess the output of t\btr\bro\bof\bff\bf. Normally
+ g\bgr\bro\bof\bff\bf will automatically run the appropriate post-
+ processor.
+
+ -\b-P\bP_\ba_\br_\bg Pass _\ba_\br_\bg to the postprocessor. Each argument
+ should be passed with a separate -\b-P\bP option. Note
+ that g\bgr\bro\bof\bff\bf does not prepend -\b- to _\ba_\br_\bg before passing
+ it to the postprocessor.
+
+ -\b-l\bl Send the output to a printer. The command used for
+ this is specified by the p\bpr\bri\bin\bnt\bt command in the
+ device description file.
+
+ -\b-L\bL_\ba_\br_\bg Pass _\ba_\br_\bg to the spooler. Each argument should be
+ passed with a separate -\b-L\bL option. Note that g\bgr\bro\bof\bff\bf
+ does not prepend -\b- to _\ba_\br_\bg before passing it to the
+ postprocessor.
+
+ -\b-T\bT_\bd_\be_\bv Prepare output for device _\bd_\be_\bv. The default device
+ is p\bps\bs.
+
+ -\b-X\bX Preview with g\bgx\bxd\bdi\bit\btv\bvi\bie\bew\bw instead of using the usual
+ postprocessor. This is unlikely to produce good
+ results except with -\b-T\bTp\bps\bs.
+
+ -\b-N\bN Don't allow newlines with eqn delimiters. This is
+ the same as the -\b-N\bN option in e\beq\bqn\bn.
