NAME
     soelim -- interpret .so requests in manpages

SYNOPSIS
     soelim [-Crtv] [-I dir] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The soelim utility reads the specified files or the standard input and per-
     forms  the  textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1)(ports/textproc/groff)
     directives of the form:

	   .so anotherfile

     If a line starts with: ".so anotherfile" it replaces the line by processing
     "anotherfile".  Otherwise the line is printed to stdout.

     -C      Recognise .so when it is not followed by a space character.

     -r      Compatibility with groff's soelim(1) (does nothing).

     -t      Compatibility with groff's soelim(1) (does nothing).

     -v      Compatibility with groff's soelim(1) (does nothing).

     -I dir  This option specifies directories where soelim searches  for  files
	     (both  those  on  the  command line and those named in ".so" direc-
	     tive.)  This option may be specified multiple times.  The	directo-
	     ries will be searched in the order specified.

     The files are always searched first in the current directory.

     A file specified with an absolute path will be opened directly without per-
     forming a search.
