mm(1) General Commands Manual mm(1) NAME mm, osdd - print documents formatted with the mm macros SYNOPSIS [options] [files] [options] [files] DESCRIPTION can be used to format and print documents using and the text-formatting macro package (see nroff(1)). It has options to specify preprocessing by and/or (see tbl(1) and neqn(1)), and postprocessing by various ter- minal-oriented output filters. The proper pipelines and the required arguments and flags for and are generated, depending on the options se- lected. is equivalent to the command Options recognizes the following options and command-line arguments. Any other arguments or options (such as are passed to or to as appropriate. Such options can occur in any order, but they must appear before the files arguments. If no arguments are given, prints a list of its options. Specifies the type of output terminal; for a list of recognized values for term, type If this option is used, uses the value of the shell variable from the environment (see profile(4) and environ(5)) as the value of term if is set; otherwise, uses as the value of term. If several terminal types are speci- fied, the last one is used. Indicates that the document is to be produced in 12-pitch. Can be used when is set to one of and (The pitch switch on the DASI 300 and 300s terminals must be manually set to if this option is used.) Causes to invoke col(1); note that col(1) is invoked automati- cally by unless term is one of and Causes to invoke Causes to invoke Invokes the option of DIAGNOSTICS sends the message if none of the arguments is a readable file and is not used as a filter. EXAMPLES Assuming that the shell variable is set in the environment to the two command lines below are equivalent: reads the standard input when is specified instead of any file names (mentioning other files along with leads to disaster). This option al- lows to be used as a filter, as in this example: Hints o invokes with the option. With this option, assumes that the termi- nal has tabs set every 8 character positions. o Use the option of to specify ranges of pages to be output. Note, however, that if invoked with one or more of the and options, to- gether with the option of may cause a harmless ``broken pipe'' diag- nostic if the last page of the document is not specified in list. o If you use the option of (to stop between pages of output), use line-feed (rather than return or new-line) to restart the output. The option of does not work with the option of or if automatically invokes (see option above and col(1)). o If you specify an incorrect output terminal type, produces (often subtle) unpredictable results. However, if you are redirecting out- put into a file, use the option, then use the appropriate terminal filter when actually printing the formatted file.
