NAME

hyphen − find hyphenated words

SYNOPSIS

hyphen [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

Hyphen finds all the hyphenated words ending lines in files and prints them on the standard output.  If no arguments are given, the standard input is used; thus, hyphen may be used as a filter. 

EXAMPLE

The following will allow the proofreading of nroff hyphenation in textfile.

mm textfile │ hyphen

SEE ALSO

mm(1), nroff(1). 

BUGS

Hyphen cannot cope with hyphenated italic (i.e., underlined) words; it will often miss them completely, or mangle them. 
Hyphen occasionally gets confused, but with no ill effects other than spurious extra output.
