roff2ps(1) General Commands Manual roff2ps(1)
roff2ps - transform roff code into ps mode
roff2ps [groffer-option ...] [--] [filespec ...]
roff2ps -h
roff2ps --help
roff2ps -v
roff2ps --version
The options -v and --version print the version information of the
program to standard output and exit. The options -h and --help
print a usage information of the program to standard output and
stop the program instantly.
All other options are assumed to be groffer options. They are
internally 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 standard 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 automatically.
roff2ps transforms roff code into ps mode. Print the result to
standard output.

roff input.
