soelim(1)               (BSD Compatibility Package)               soelim(1)


   NAME
         soelim - resolve and eliminate .so requests from nroff or troff input

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/ucb/soelim [ filename ... ]

   DESCRIPTION
         The soelim command reads the specified files or the standard input
         and performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1) directives
         of the form

               .so somefile

         when they appear at the beginning of input lines.  This is useful
         since programs such as tbl(1) do not normally do this; it allows the
         placement of individual tables in separate files to be run as a part
         of a large document.

         An argument consisting of `-' is taken to be a file name
         corresponding to the standard input.

         Note: inclusion can be suppressed by using `'' instead of `.', that
         is,

               ' so /usr/ucblib/doctools/tmac/tmac.s

   EXAMPLE
         A sample usage of soelim would be

               soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr

   SEE ALSO
         nroff(1), tbl(1).
