OPTIONS
      roffbib accepts all options understood by nroff(1) except -i
      and -q.
 
      -e    Produce equally-spaced words in adjusted  lines  using
            full terminal resolution.
 
      -h    Use output tabs during  horizontal  spacing  to  speed
            output and reduce output character count. TAB settings
            are assumed to be every 8 nominal character widths.
 
      -m filename
            Prepend the macro  file  /usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.name
            to  the  input  files. There should be a space between
            the -m and the macro filename. This set of macros will
            replace        the        ones        defined       in
            /usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.bib.
 
      -np   Number first generated page p.
 
      -olist
            Print only page numbers  that  appear  in  the  comma-
            separated list of numbers and ranges.
             A range N-M means pages N through M;  an  initial  -N
            means  from  the beginning to page N; a final N- means
            from page N to end.
 
      -Q    Queue output for the phototypesetter.  Page offset  is
            set to 1 inch.
 
      -raN  Set register a (one-character) to N. The  command-line
            argument  -rN1  will number the references starting at
            1.
 
            Four command-line registers control  formatting  style
            of the bibliography, much like the number registers of

            ms(5). The flag -rV2 will double space the  bibliogra-
            phy,  while -rV1 will double space references but sin-
            gle space annotation paragraphs.  The line length  can
            be  changed  from  the  default 6.5 inches to 6 inches
            with the -rL6i argument, and the page  offset  can  be
            set  from  the  default of 0 to one inch by specifying
            -rO1i (capital O, not zero).
 
      -sN   Halt prior to every  N  pages  for  paper  loading  or
            changing  (default  N=1).  To resume, enter NEWLINE or
            RETURN.
 
      -Tterm
            Specify term as the terminal type.
 
      -V    Send output to the Versatec.  Page offset is set to  1
            inch.
 
      -x    If abstracts or comments are entered following the  %X
            field  key,  roffbib  will format them into paragraphs
            for an annotated bibliography. Several %X  fields  may
            be given if several annotation paragraphs are desired.
