Name
       soelim - eliminate nroff source directives from nroff input

Syntax
       soelim [file...]

Description
       The command reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the textual inclusion implied by the directives of the form
       .so somefile
       when  they  appear at the beginning of input lines.  This is useful since programs such as do not normally do this; it allows the placement
       of individual tables in separate files to be run as a part of a large document.

       Note that inclusion can be suppressed by using `'' instead of `.', that is
       'so /usr/lib/tmac.s
       A sample usage of would be
       soelim exum?.n | tbl | nroff -ms | col | lpr

Options
       -  File name corresponding to standard input.
