roffbib(1) General Commands Manual roffbib(1) Name roffbib - run off bibliographic database Syntax roffbib [options] [file...] Description The command prints out all records in a bibliographic database, in bibliography format rather than as footnotes or endnotes. Generally it is used in conjunction with sortbib database | roffbib Options The command accepts most of the options understood by nroff(1). -Tterm Uses specified name as terminal type for which output is prepared. -x Suppresses the printing of abstracts. If abstracts or comments are entered following the %X field key, formats them into paragraphs for an annotated bibliography. Several %X fields may be given if several annotation paragraphs are desired. -e Formats text with equally spaced words, justified lines, and full resolution. -h Uses tabs in horizontal spacing to speed output and reduce output character count. Tab characters are assumed to be every 8 nominal character widths. -n Uses specified number (-nN) as first page to be printed. -o Uses specified list (-olist) as only pages to be printed. A range N-M means pages N through M. An initial -N means from the begin- ning to page N. A final N- means from N to the end. -s Stops after specified number of pages (-sn). -m mac Specifies a user-defined set of macros with space between -m and the macro file name. This set of macros replaces the ones defined in /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.bib. -V Sends output to the Versatec. -Q Queues output for the phototypesetter. -raN Sets named register a to specified value N. Four command-line registers control formatting style of the bibliography, much like the number registers of ms(7). The command-line argu- ment -rN1 numbers the references starting at one (1). The flag -rV2 double spaces the bibliography, while -rV1 double spaces references but single spaces 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). Note: with the -V and -Q flags the default page offset is already one inch.

roffbib prints out all records in a bibliographic database, in bibliography format rather than as footnotes or endnotes. Generally it is used in conjunction with sortbib(1): example% sortbib database | roffbib 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 bibliography, while -rV1 will double space references but single 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. FILES
