+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B groff
+is a front-end to the groff document formatting system.
+Normally it runs the
+.B @g@troff
+program and a postprocessor appropriate for the selected
+device.
+Available devices are:
+.TP
+.B ps
+For PostScript printers and previewers
+.TP
+.B dvi
+For TeX dvi format
+.TP
+.B X75
+For a 75 dpi X11 previewer
+.TP
+.B X100
+For a 100dpi X11 previewer
+.TP
+.B ascii
+For typewriter-like devices
+.TP
+.B latin1
+For typewriter-like devices using the ISO Latin-1 character set.
+.LP
+The postprocessor to be used for a device is specified by the
+.B postpro
+command in the device description file.
+This can be overridden with the
+.B \-X
+option.
+.LP
+The default device is
+.BR @DEVICE@ .
+It can optionally preprocess with any of
+.BR @g@pic ,
+.BR @g@eqn ,
+.BR @g@tbl ,
+.BR @g@refer ,
+or
+.B @g@soelim.
+.LP
+Options without an argument can be grouped behind a single
+.BR \- .
+A filename of
+.B \-
+denotes the standard input.
+.LP
+The
+.B grog
+command can be used to guess the correct groff command to use to
+format a file.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-h
+Print a help message.
+.TP
+.B \-e
+Preprocess with @g@eqn.
+.TP
+.B \-t
+Preprocess with @g@tbl.
+.TP
+.B \-p
+Preprocess with @g@pic.
+.TP
+.B \-s
+Preprocess with @g@soelim.
+.TP
+.B \-R
+Preprocess with @g@refer.
+No mechanism is provided for passing arguments to
+.B @g@refer
+because most @g@refer options have equivalent commands
+which can be included in the file.
+See
+.BR @g@refer (@MAN1EXT@)
+for more details.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Make programs run by
+.B groff
+print out their version number.
+.TP
+.B \-V
+Print the pipeline on stdout instead of executing it.
+.TP
+.B \-z
+Suppress output from
+.BR @g@troff .
+Only error messages will be printed.
+.TP
+.B \-Z
+Do not postprocess the output of
+.BR @g@troff .
+Normally
+.B groff
+will automatically run the appropriate postprocessor.
+.TP
+.BI \-P arg
+Pass
+.I arg
+to the postprocessor.
+Each argument should be passed with a separate
+.B \-P
+option.
+Note that
+.B groff
+does not prepend
+.B \-
+to
+.I arg
+before passing it to the postprocessor.
+.TP
+.B \-l
+Send the output to a printer.
+The command used for this is specified by the
+.B print
+command in the device description file.
+.TP
+.BI \-L arg
+Pass
+.I arg
+to the spooler.
+Each argument should be passed with a separate
+.B \-L
+option.
+Note that
+.B groff
+does not prepend
+.B \-
+to
+.I arg
+before passing it to the postprocessor.
+.TP
+.BI \-T dev
+Prepare output for device
+.IR dev .
+The default device is
+.BR @DEVICE@ .
+.TP
+.B \-X
+Preview with
+.B gxditview
+instead of using the usual postprocessor.
+.B Groff
+passes
+.B gxditview
+a
+.B -printCommand
+option which will make the
+.B Print
+action do what
+.B groff
+would have done if the
+.B -l
+option had been given.
+This is unlikely to produce good results except with
+.BR \-Tps .
+.TP
+.B \-N
+Don't allow newlines with eqn delimiters.
+This is the same as the
+.B \-N
+option in
+.BR @g@eqn .
+.TP
+.B \-S
+Safer mode. Pass the
+.B \-S
+option to
+.B @g@pic
+and use the
+.B \%\-msafer
+macros with
+.BR @g@troff .

+commands can create temporary files.
