roff2text(1)            FreeBSD General Commands Manual           roff2text(1)

NAME
       roff2text - transform roff code into text mode

SYNOPSIS
       roff2text [groffer-option ...] [--] [filespec ...]

       roff2text -h
       roff2text --help

       roff2text -v
       roff2text --version

       The options -v and --version print the version information of the
       program to standard output and exit.  The options -h and --help print a
       usage information of the program to standard output and stop the
       program instantly.

       All other options are assumed to be groffer options.  They are
       internally passed to groffer.  They override the behavior of the
       program.  The options are optional, they can be omitted.

       The filespec arguments correspond to the filespec arguments of groffer.
       So they are either the names of existing, readable files or - for
       standard input, or the name of a man page or a groffer(1) man page
       search pattern.  If no filespec is specified standard input is assumed
       automatically.

DESCRIPTION
       roff2text transforms roff code into text mode.  Print the result to

              is for dvi mode.

       roff2html(1)
              generates HTML output.

       roff2pdf(1)
              outputs pdf mode.

       roff2ps(1)
              prints PostScript format to standard output.

       roff2x(1)
              prints the output in the groff device X that is suitable for
              programs like gxditview(1) or xditview(1).
