soelim1
Interpret .so requests in manpages
Usage
soelim [-Crtv]
[-I
dir]
[file ...]
Overview
The soelim utility reads the specified files or the standard input and performs the textual inclusion implied by the nroff(1) (ports/textproc/groff) directives of the form:
.so anotherfile
If a line starts with: “.so anotherfile” it replaces the line by processing “anotherfile”. Otherwise the line is printed to stdout.

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

-
-I dir -
This option specifies directories where
soelimsearches for files (both those on the command line and those named in “.so” directive.) This option 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.
