.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" ====================================================================
.
This manual page describes the GNU version of
.BR troff .
.
It is part of the groff document formatting system.
.
It is functionally compatible with Unix troff, but has many
extensions, see
.BR \%groff_diff (7).
.
Usually it should be invoked using the
.BR groff (1)
command which will also run preprocessors and postprocessors in the
appropriate order and with the appropriate options.
.
.
.\" ====================================================================
.SH OPTIONS
.\" ====================================================================
.
Whitespace is permitted between a command-line option and its argument.
.
.
.TP
.B \-a
Generate an ASCII approximation of the typeset output.
.
.TP
.B \-b
Print a backtrace with each warning or error message.
.
This backtrace should help track down the cause of the error.
.
The line numbers given in the backtrace may not always be correct, for
.BR troff 's
idea of line numbers gets confused by
.B as
or
.B am
requests.
.
.TP
.B \-c
Disable color output (always disabled in compatibility mode).
.
.TP
.B \-C
Enable compatibility mode.
.
.TP
.BI \-d cs
.TQ
.BI \-d name = s
Define
.I c
or
.I name
to be a string
.IR s ;
.I c
must be a one letter name.
.
.TP
.B \-E
Inhibit all error messages of
.BR troff .
.
Note that this doesn't affect messages output to standard error by
macro packages using the
.B tm
or
.B tm1
requests.
.
.TP
.BI \-f fam
Use
.I fam
as the default font family.
.
.TP
.BI \-F dir
Search in directory (or directory path)
.I dir
for subdirectories
.IR dev name
.RI ( name
is the name of the device) and there for the
.I DESC
file and font files.
.
.I dir
is scanned before all other font directories.
.
.TP
.B \-i
Read the standard input after all the named input files have been
processed.
.
.TP
.BI \-I dir
This option may be used to add a directory to the search path for
files (both those on the command line and those named in
.B \&.psbb
requests).
.
The search path is initialized with the current directory.
.
This option may be specified more than once; the directories are then
searched in the order specified (but before the current directory).
.
If you want to make the current directory be read before other
directories, add
.B \-I.\&
at the appropriate place.
.
.IP
No directory search is performed for files with an absolute file name.
.
.TP
.BI \-m name
Read in the file
.RI name .tmac .
.
If it isn't found, try
.IR tmac. name
instead.
.
It will be first searched for in directories given with the
.B \-M
command-line option, then in directories given in the
.I GROFF_TMAC_PATH
environment variable, then in the current directory (only if in unsafe
mode), the home directory,
.IR /usr/\:lib/\:groff/\:site\-tmac ,
.IR /usr/\:share/\:groff/\:site\-tmac ,
and
.IR /usr/\:share/\:groff/\:1.22.4/\:tmac .
.
.TP
.BI \-M dir
Search directory (or directory path)
.I dir
for macro files.
.
This is scanned before all other macro directories.
.
.TP
.BI \-n num
Number the first page
.IR num .
.
.TP
.BI \-o list
Output only pages in
.IR list ,
which is a comma-separated list of page ranges;
.I n
means print page
.IR n ,
.IB m \- n
means print every page between
.I m
and
.IR n ,
.BI \- n
means print every page up to
.IR n ,
.IB n \-
means print every page from
.IR n .
.
.B troff
will exit after printing the last page in the list.
.
.TP
.BI \-r cn
.TQ
.BI \-r name = n
Set number register
.I c
or
.I name
to
.IR n ;
.I c
must be a one character name;
.I n
can be any troff numeric expression.
.
.TP
.B \-R
Don't load
.I troffrc
and
.IR troffrc\-end .
.
.TP
.BI \-T name
Prepare output for device
.IR name ,
rather than the default
.BR ps ;
see
.BR groff (1)
for a more detailed description.
.
.TP
.B \-U
Unsafe mode.
.
This will enable the following requests:
.BR open ,
.BR opena ,
.BR pso ,
.BR sy ,
and
.BR pi .
For security reasons, these potentially dangerous requests are
disabled otherwise.
.
It will also add the current directory to the macro search path.
.
.TP
.B \-v
Print the version number.
.
.TP
.BI \-w name
Enable warning
.IR name .
.
Available warnings are described in section \(lqWarnings\(rq below.
.
To enable most useful warnings use
.B \-w
.BR all .
To enable absolutely all warnings use
.B \-w w
instead.
Multiple
.B \-w
options are allowed.
.
.TP
.BI \-W name
Inhibit warning
.IR name .
.
Multiple
.B \-W
options are allowed.
.
.TP
.B \-z
Suppress formatted output.
.
.

.SH WARNINGS
.\" ====================================================================
.
The warnings that can be given by
.B troff
are divided into the following categories.
.
The name associated with each warning is used by the
.B \-w
and
.B \-W
options; the number is used by the
.B warn
request, and by the
.B .warn
register; it is always a power of 2 to allow bitwise composition.

.BR break "\t4"
In fill mode, lines which could not be broken so that their length was
less than the line length.
.
This is enabled by default.
.
.TP
.BR char "\t1"
Non-existent characters.
.
This is enabled by default.
.
.TP
.BR color "\t524288"
Color-related warnings.
.
.TP
.BR delim "\t8"
Missing or mismatched closing delimiters.
.
.TP
.BR di "\t256"
Use of
.B di
or
.B da
without an argument when there is no current diversion.
.
.TP
.BR el "\t16"
Use of the
.B el
request with no matching
.B ie
request.
.
.TP
.BR escape "\t32768"
Unrecognized escape sequences.
.
When an unrecognized escape sequence is encountered, the escape
character is ignored.
.
.TP

Indicates a missing file for the
.B mso
request.
.
Enabled by default.
.
.TP
.BR font "\t131072"
Non-existent fonts.
.
This is enabled by default.
.
.TP
.BR ig "\t262144"
Invalid escapes in text ignored with the
.B ig
request.
.
These are conditions that are errors when they do not occur in ignored
text.
.
.TP
.BR input "\t16384"
Invalid input characters.
.
.TP
.BR mac "\t512"
Use of undefined strings, macros and diversions.
.
When an undefined string, macro or diversion is used, that string is
automatically defined as empty.
.
So, in most cases, at most one warning will be given for each name.
.
.TP
.BR missing "\t8192"
Requests that are missing non-optional arguments.
.
.TP
.BR number "\t2"
Invalid numeric expressions.

.
.TP
.BR reg "\t1024"
Use of undefined number registers.
.
When an undefined number register is used, that register is
automatically defined to have a value of\~0.
.
So, in most cases, at most one warning will be given for use of a
particular name.
.
.TP
.BR right-brace "\t4096"
Use of
.B \(rs}
where a number was expected.
.
.TP
.BR scale "\t32"
Meaningless scaling indicators.
.
.TP
.BR space "\t65536"
Missing space between a request or macro and its argument.
.
This warning will be given when an undefined name longer than two
characters is encountered, and the first two characters of the name
make a defined name.
.
The request or macro will not be invoked.
.
When this warning is given, no macro is automatically defined.
.
This is enabled by default.
.
This warning will never occur in compatibility mode.
.
.TP
.BR syntax "\t128"
Dubious syntax in numeric expressions.
.
.TP
.BR tab "\t2048"
Inappropriate use of a tab character.

character in an unquoted macro argument.
.
.P
There are also names that can be used to refer to groups of warnings:
.
.TP
.B all
All warnings except
.BR di ,
.BR mac ,
and
.BR reg .
.
It is intended that this covers all warnings that are useful with
traditional macro packages.
.
.TP
.B w
All warnings.
