SYNOPSIS
roff2pdf [groffer_option...] [--] [filespec...] roff2pdf -h | --help roff2pdf -v | --version The options -v and --version print the version information of the pro- gram to standard output and exit. The options -h and --help print a usage information of the program to standard output and stop the pro- gram instantly. All other options are assumed to be groffer options. They are inter- nally passed to groffer. They override the behavior of the program. The options are optional, they can be omitted. The filespec arguments correspond to the filespec arguments of groffer. So they are either the names of existing, readable files or - for stan- dard input, or the name of a man page or a groffer(1) man page search pattern. If no filespec is specified standard input is assumed auto- matically.
