Name         top

       mmroff - cross-referencing front end for GNU roff mm macro package

Synopsis         top

       mmroff [-x] groff-argument ...

       mmroff --help

       mmroff --version

Description         top

       mmroff is a simple wrapper for groff, used to expand cross
       references in mm; see groff_mm(7).  It runs groff with the -mm
       option twice, first with -z and -rRef=1 to populate cross-
       reference and index files with their corresponding entries, and
       then again to produce the document.  It also handles the inclusion
       of PostScript images with the PIC macro.  Documents that do not
       use these features of groff mm (the INITI, IND, INDP, INITR, SETR,
       GETHN, GETPN, GETR, GETST, and PIC macros) do not require mmroff.

Options         top

       --help displays a usage message, while --version shows version
       information; both exit afterward.

       -x     Create or update the cross-reference file and exit.
