mmroff(1) General Commands Manual mmroff(1)
Name
mmroff - cross-referencing front end for GNU roff mm macro
package
Synopsis
mmroff [-x] groff-argument ...
mmroff --help
mmroff --version
Description
mmroff is a simple wrapper for groff, used to expand cross
references in mm; see groff_mm(7). It runs groff with the -mm
option twice, first with -z and -rRef=1 to populate cross-
reference and index files with their corresponding entries, and
then again to produce the document. It also handles the
inclusion of PostScript images with the PIC macro. Documents
that do not use these features of groff mm (the INITI, IND, INDP,
INITR, SETR, GETHN, GETPN, GETR, GETST, and PIC macros) do not
require mmroff.
Options
--help displays a usage message, while --version shows version
information; both exit afterward.
-x Create or update the cross-reference file and exit.
Environment
Normally, the path separator in environment variables ending with
PATH is the colon; this may vary depending on the operating
system. For example, Windows uses a semicolon instead.
GROFF_BIN_PATH
Locate groff commands in these directories, followed by
those in PATH. If not set, the installation directory of
GNU roff executables, /usr/local/bin, is searched before
PATH.
