mmt(1)                                                     mmt(1)



NAME
     mmt, mvt - typeset documents that contain troff and mm or mv
     macro-formatting requests

SYNOPSIS
     mmt [-a] [-Ddest] [-e] [-g] [-p] [-t] [-Ttty-type] [-z]
     [file]...

     mvt [-a] [-Ddest] [-e] [-g] [-p] [-t] [-Ttty-type] [-z]
     [file]...

ARGUMENTS
     -a   Sends the output to an ASCII terminal.

     -Ddest
          Directs output by means of the device dest, using the
          tc(1) filter.  The currently supported values for dest
          are 4014 and i10 for the TEKTRONIX 4014 terminal and an
          Imagen Imprint-10 device, respectively.

     -e   Invokes eqn in a way that causes eqn to read the
          /usr/pub/eqnchar file. See eqnchar(5) for details.

     file Specifies the file to be typeset.  If you specify a
          hyphen (-) on the command line instead of a filename,
          mmt and mvt read the standard input.  Reading the
          standard input allows either of these commands to be
          used as a filter, as shown here:

             cat file | mmt -

     -g   Invokes grap(1), which in turn calls pic.

     -p   Invokes pic(1).

     -t   Invokes tbl(1).

     -Ttty-type
          Creates output for a particular destination device
          specified by tty-type.  Appropriate output is created
          through the selection of an appropriate postprocessor.
          To create output for an APS-5 device or troff device,
          replace tty-type with aps or ptty.  See daps(1) and
          troff(1) for details.

     -z   Invokes no output filter to process or redirect the
          output of troff.

DESCRIPTION
     mmt and mvt are front-ends for calling troff, just as mm is
     a front-end for calling nroff(1).  The mmt command uses the
     mm macro package and has options that let you specify

     preprocessing by eqn, grap, pic, and tbl.  The mvt command
     uses the mv macro package and has the same options.

     The discussion that follows refers only to mmt, but also
     applies to mvt.

     Using the options you specify, mmt generates the proper
     pipelines and the required arguments and flags for troff and
     the appropriate macros.

     Options can be specified in any order, but they must appear
     before the file arguments.  If you do not specify any
     arguments, mmt prints a list of its options.

     You can use the -olist option of troff to specify ranges of
     pages to be output.  Note, however, that if you invoke mmt
     with -olist and one or more of the -e, -g, -p, -t, and -
     options, a harmless broken pipe diagnostic may appear if the
     last page of the document is not specified in list.

STATUS MESSAGES AND VALUES
     If none of the arguments is a readable file and the command
     is not being used as a filter, the following error message
     is displayed:

        mxt: no input file


LIMITATIONS
     Because the programs gcat and vpr are not supplied with
     A/UX, you cannot use vp and st as replacement values for
     tty-type.

FILES
     /bin/mmt

     /bin/mvt
