Описание (Description)
The groffer program is the easiest way to use groff(1). It can
display arbitrary documents written in the groff language, see
groff(7), or other roff languages, see roff(7), that are
compatible to the original troff language. It finds and runs all
necessary groff preprocessors, such as chem.
The groffer program also includes many of the features for
finding and displaying the Unix manual pages (man pages), such
that it can be used as a replacement for a man(1) program.
Moreover, compressed files that can be handled by gzip(1) or
bzip2(1) are decompressed on-the-fly.
The normal usage is quite simple by supplying a file name or name
of a man page without further options. But the option handling
has many possibilities for creating special behaviors. This can
be done either in configuration files, with the shell environment
variable GROFFER_OPT, or on the command line.
The output can be generated and viewed in several different ways
available for groff. This includes the X Window System-based
groff program gxditview(1), each PostScript, PDF, or DVI display
program, a web browser by generating HTML or XHTML in www mode,
or several text modes in text terminals.
Most of the options that must be named when running groff
directly are determined automatically for groffer, due to the
internal usage of the grog(1) program. But all parts can also be
controlled manually by arguments.
Several file names can be specified on the command-line
arguments. They are transformed into a single document in the
normal way of groff.
Option handling is done in GNU style. Options and file names can
be mixed freely. The option '--' closes the option handling, all
following arguments are treated as file names. Long options can
be abbreviated in several ways.
