lpf(8)

lpf8

Lpd filter for nroff output

Usage

lpf -w width -l length

Overview

lpf is a filter which reads the output of nroff and converts lines with ^H's to overwritten lines. Thus this works like ul(1) but is much better: it can handle more than 2 overwrites and it is written with some style.

Notes

This program was designed long ago, and is not much if any use today.
