Manpages GROTTYSection: User Commands (1)Updated: 17 March 2002 Index Return to Main Contents NAMEgrotty - groff driver for typewriter-like devicesSYNOPSISgrotty [ -hfbuodBUv ] [ -Fdir ] [ files... ]It is possible to have whitespace between the -F option and its parameter. DESCRIPTIONgrotty translates the output of GNU troff into a form suitable for typewriter-like devices. Normally grotty should be invoked by using the groff command with a -Tascii, -Tascii8, -Tlatin1, -Tnippon or -Tutf8 option on ASCII based systems, and with -Tcp1047 on EBCDIC based hosts. If no files are given, grotty will read the standard input. A filename of - will also cause grotty to read the standard input. Output is written to the standard output.Normally grotty prints a bold character c using the sequence `c BACKSPACE c' and a italic character c by the sequence `_ BACKSPACE c'. These sequences can be displayed on a terminal by piping through ul(1). Pagers such as more(1) or less(1) are also able to display these sequences. Use either -B or -U when piping into less(1); use -b when piping into more(1). There is no need to filter the output through col(1) since grotty never outputs reverse line feeds. The font description file may contain a command
where n is a decimal integer. If the 01 bit in n is set, then the font will be treated as an italic font; if the 02 bit is set, then it will be treated as a bold font. The code field in the font description field gives the code which will be used to output the character. This code can also be used in the \N escape sequence in troff. OPTIONS
FILES
Note that on EBCDIC hosts, only files for the cp1047 device will be installed. BUGSgrotty is intended only for simple documents. There is no support for fractional horizontal or vertical motions. There is no support for \D commands other than horizontal and vertical lines. Characters above the first line (ie with a vertical position of 0) cannot be printed.
