man − macros to typeset manual
nroff −man file ...
troff −man file ...
These macros are used to lay out pages of this manual. A skeleton page may be found in the file /usr/man/man0/xx.
Any text argument t may be zero to six words. Quotes may be used to include blanks in a ’word’. If text is empty, the special treatment is applied to the next input line with text to be printed. In this way .I may be used to italicize a whole line, or .SM followed by .B to make small bold letters.
A prevailing indent distance is remembered between successive indented paragraphs, and is reset to default value upon reaching a non-indented paragraph. Default units for indents i are ens.
Type font and size are reset to default values before each paragraph, and after processing font and size setting macros.
These strings are predefined by −man:
|
\*R |
’(Reg)’, trademark symbol in troff. |
|||
|
\*S |
Change to default type size. |
