✨ roff2ps — the glow-up page ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the roff2ps(1) manual, straight outta the General Commands Manual 💅 this is the page for roff2ps, and she's here to turn your roff code into ps mode. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

roff2ps — transform roff code into ps mode 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

roff2ps [groffer-option ...] [--] [filespec ...]

roff2ps -h
roff2ps --help

roff2ps -v
roff2ps --version

so like, the options -v and --version print the version information of the program to standard output and exit. periodt. 💫

and the options -h and --help print a usage information of the program to standard output and stop the program instantly. iconic behaviour honestly.

all other options are assumed to be groffer options. they are internally passed to groffer. they override the behavior of the program. the options are optional, they can be omitted. lowkey flexible of her 🫶

the filespec arguments correspond to the filespec arguments of groffer. so they are either the names of existing, readable files or - for standard 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 automatically. the way that she just knows?? 😭💖
