NAME

psroff − troff text formatting with PostScript output. 

SYNOPSIS

psroff [ option ] ...  [ file ] ... 

DESCRIPTION

Psroff formats text in the named files for printing on a printer supporting postscript.  Its capabilities are described in the Nroff/Troff user’s manual. 

If no file argument is present, the standard input is read.  An argument consisting of a single minus (−) is taken to be a file name corresponding to the standard input. 

By default psroff will spool its output using lpr −PPostScript.  This action may be overridden by the use of the −t option, which causes the output to be directed to standard output. 

The options accepted by psroff are exactly the same as those for troff.
