SOELIMINATE(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					    SOELIMINATE(1)

NAME

     soeliminate -- interpret .so directive in manpages

SYNOPSIS

     soeliminate [-Crtv] [-I dir] [files ...]

DESCRIPTION

     soeliminate reads files lines by lines.

     If a line starts by: ``.so anotherfile'' it replace the line by processing ``anotherfile''.  Otherwise the line is printed to stdout.

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

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

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

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

     -I dir  This option specify directories where soeliminate searches for files (both those on the command line and those named in ``.so''
	     directive.)  This options may be specified multiple times. The directories 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 performing a search.
