DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the prover9 command.

       prover9  is  an automated theorem prover for first-order and equational
       logic. It is a successor of the  otter(1)  prover.   prover9  uses  the
       inference  techniques  of  ordered  resolution  and paramodulation with
       literal selection.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -h     View a list of command-line options.

       -x     Enables  an   experimental   enhanced   auto-mode.    For   more
              information consult the prover9 manual.

       -p     Fully parenthesize output.

       -t n   Constrain  the  search  to  last about n seconds.  For UNIX-like
              systems, the ‘user CPU’ time is used.

       -f file
