GNU Info (groff)Invoking groffInvoking `groff' **************** This section focuses on how to invoke the `groff' front end. This front end takes care of the details of constructing the pipeline among the preprocessors, `gtroff' and the postprocessor. It has become a tradition that GNU programs get the prefix `g' to distinguish it from its original counterparts provided by the host (see Note: Environment, for more details). Thus, for example, `geqn' is GNU `eqn'. On operating systems like Linux or the Hurd, which don't contain proprietary software, and on MS-DOS/MS-Windows, where `troff' and associated programs are not available at all, this prefix is omitted since GNU `troff' is the only used incarnation of `troff'. Exception: `groff' is never replaced by `roff'. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
