soelim(1)

NAME

     soelim - resolve and eliminate .so requests  from  nroff  or
     troff input

SYNOPSIS

     soelim [filename...]

DESCRIPTION

     soelim reads the specified files or the standard  input  and
     performs  the  textual  inclusion  implied  by  the nroff(1)
     directives of the form

          .so somefile

     when they appear at the beginning of input  lines.  This  is
     useful  since  programs  such  as  tbl(1) do not normally do
     this; it  allows  the  placement  of  individual  tables  in
     separate files to be run as a part of a large document.

     An argument consisting of `-' is taken to  be  a  file  name
     corresponding to the standard input.

     Note:  Inclusion can be suppressed by using `''  instead  of
     `.', that is,

          ' so /usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.s

EXAMPLES

     Example 1: A sample of the soelim command.

     A sample usage of soelim would be

     example% soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr
