mmroff(1) General Commands Manual mmroff(1)
mmroff - cross-referencing front end for GNU roff mm macro package
mmroff [-x] groff-argument ...
mmroff --help
mmroff --version
mmroff is a simple wrapper for groff, used to expand cross
references in mm documents; 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.
--help displays a usage message, while --version shows version
information; both exit afterward.
-x Create or update the cross-reference file and exit.
Normally, the path separator in environment variables ending with
PATH is the colon; this may vary depending on the operating
system. For example, Windows uses a semicolon instead.
GROFF_BIN_PATH
Locate groff commands in these directories, followed by
those in PATH. If not set, the installation directory of
GNU roff executables, /usr/local/bin, is searched before
PATH.
mmroff exits with status 0 if the --help or --version options were
specified, or if -x was specified and the program successfully
created or updated the cross-reference file. It exits with status
1 if it was unable to create necessary files. Otherwise, it exits
with the status of groff.
mmroff was written by Jörgen Hägg ⟨jh@axis.se⟩ of Lund, Sweden.
