NAME
gsoelim - interpret .so requests in groff input
SYNOPSIS
gsoelim [ -Crtv ] [ -Idir ] [ files... ]
It is possible to have whitespace between the -I command
line option and its parameter.
DESCRIPTION
gsoelim reads files and replaces lines of the form
.so file
by the contents of file. It is useful if files included
with so need to be preprocessed. Normally, gsoelim should
be invoked with the -s option of groff.
Note that there must be no whitespace between the leading
dot and the two characters `s' and `o'. Otherwise, only
groff interprets the .so request (and soelim ignores it).
OPTIONS
-C Recognize .so even when followed by a character other
than space or newline.
-Idir
This option may be used to specify a directory to
search for files (both those on the command line and
those named in .so requests). The current directory is
always searched first. This option may be specified
more than once, the directories will be searched in the
order specified. No directory search is performed for
files specified using an absolute path.
-r Do not add .lf requests (for general use, with non-
groff files).
-t Don't emit .lf requests but TeX comment lines (starting
with `%') giving the current file and line number.
-v Print the version number.
USAGE
The normal processing sequence of groff is this:
input sourced
file file
| |
v v
preprocessor -> troff -> postprocessor
|

v
output
file
That is, files sourced with .so are normally read only by
troff (the actual formatter). soelim is not required for
troff to source files.
If a file to be sourced should also be preprocessed, it must
already be read before the input file passes through the
preprocessor. This is handled by soelim:
input
file
|
v
soelim -> preprocessor -> troff -> postprocessor
^ |
| v
sourced output
file file
