SOELIM(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual SOELIM(1)
NAME
soelim - interpret .so requests in manpages
SYNOPSIS
soelim [-Crtv] [-I dir] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The soelim utility reads the specified files or the standard input and
performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1)
(ports/textproc/groff) directives of the form:
.so anotherfile
If a line starts with: ".so anotherfile" it replaces the line by
processing "anotherfile". Otherwise the line is printed to stdout.
-C Recognise .so when it is not followed by a space character.
-r Compatibility with groff's soelim(1) (does nothing).
-t Compatibility with groff's soelim(1) (does nothing).
-v Compatibility with groff's soelim(1) (does nothing).
-I dir This option specifies directories where soelim searches for files
(both those on the command line and those named in ".so"
directive.) This option may be specified multiple times. The
directories will be searched in the order specified.
The files are always searched first in the current directory.
A file specified with an absolute path will be opened directly without
performing a search.
