GROG(1)                     General Commands Manual                    GROG(1)



NAME
       grog - guess options for groff command

SYNOPSIS
       grog [ -option ... ] [ files ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       grog reads files and guesses which of the groff(1) options -e, -man,
       -me, -mm, -mom, -ms, -mdoc, -mdoc-old, -p, -R, -g, -G, -s, and -t are
       required for printing files, and prints the groff command including
       those options on the standard output.  A filename of - is taken to
       refer to the standard input.  If no files are specified the standard
       input will be read.  Any specified options will be included in the
       printed command.  No space is allowed between options and their
       arguments.  The only options recognized are -C (which is also passed
       on) to enable compatibility mode, and -v to print the version number.

       For example,

              `grog -Tdvi paper.ms`

       will guess the appropriate command to print paper.ms and then run it
       after adding the -Tdvi option.
