NAME
       roff2text - transform roff code into text mode

SYNOPSIS
       roff2text [groffer_option...] [--] [filespec...]
       roff2text -h | --help
       roff2text -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.
