Only ascii, ascii8, latin1, utf8, nippon, and cp1047 are valid arguments for the -T option. If an invalid or no -T option is given, nroff checks the current locale to select a default output device. It first tries the locale program, then the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, and LANG, and finally the LESSCHARSET environment variable.The -h option is equivalent to the grotty's -h option (i.e., using tabs in the output). The -i, -n, -m, -o and -r options have the effect described in troff(1). In addition, nroff silently ignores the options -e, -q, and -s (which are not implemented in troff). Options -p (pic), -t (tbl), -S (safer), and -U (unsafe) are passed to groff. -S is passed by default. -v shows the version number. ENVIRONMENT
NOTESThis shell script is basically intended for use with man(1), so warnings are suppressed. nroff-style character definitions (in the file tty-char.tmac) are also loaded to emulate unrepresentable glyphs.SEE ALSOgroff(1), troff(1), grotty(1)
