NAME

       roff2pdf - transform roff code into pdf mode

SYNOPSIS

       [groffer_option...] [filespec...] -h | --help -v | --version

       The  options  -v  and  --version  print  the version information of the
       program to standard output and exit.  The options -h and --help print a
       usage  information  of  the  program  to  standard  output and stop the
       program instantly.

       All other  options  are  assumed  to  be  groffer  options.   They  are
       internally  passed  to  groffer.   They  override  the  behavior of the
       program.  The options are optional, they can be omitted.

       The filespec arguments correspond to the filespec arguments of groffer.
       So  they  are  either  the  names  of existing, readable files or - for
       standard input, or the name of a man page  or  a  groffer(1)  man  page
       search  pattern.  If no filespec is specified standard input is assumed
       automatically.
