DESCRIPTION

14       roffbib prints out all records in a bibliographic database, in bibliog‐
15       raphy format rather than as footnotes or endnotes. Generally it is used
16       in conjunction with sortbib(1):

OPTIONS

22       roffbib accepts all options understood by nroff(1) except -i and -q.
23
24       -e             Produce  equally-spaced  words  in  adjusted lines using
25                      full terminal resolution.
26
27
28       -h             Use output tabs during horizontal spacing to speed  out‐
29                      put  and reduce output character count. TAB settings are
30                      assumed to be every 8 nominal character widths.
31
32
33       -m filename    Prepend the macro file /usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.name  to
34                      the  input files. There should be a space between the -m
35                      and the macro filename. This set of macros will  replace
36                      the ones defined in /usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.bib.
37
38
39       -np            Number first generated page p.
40
41
42       -olist         Print  only  page numbers that appear in the comma-sepa‐
43                      rated list of numbers and  ranges.  A  range  N−M  means
44                      pages  N  through M; an initial -N means from the begin‐
45                      ning to page N; a final N− means from page N to end.
46
47
48       -Q             Queue output for the phototypesetter.   Page  offset  is
49                      set to 1 inch.
50
51
52       -raN           Set  register  a  (one-character) to N. The command-line
53                      argument -rN1 will number the references starting at 1.
54
55                      Four command-line registers control formatting style  of
56                      the  bibliography,  much  like  the  number registers of
57                      ms(5). The flag -rV2 will double space the bibliography,
58                      while -rV1 will double space references but single space
59                      annotation paragraphs. The line length  can  be  changed
60                      from  the  default 6.5 inches to 6 inches with the -rL6i
61                      argument, and the  page  offset  can  be  set  from  the
62                      default of 0 to one inch by specifying -rO1i (capital O,
63                      not zero).
64
65
66       -sN            Halt prior to every N pages for paper loading or  chang‐
67                      ing (default N=1). To resume, enter NEWLINE or RETURN.
68
69
70       -Tterm         Specify term as the terminal type.
71
72
73       -V             Send  output  to  the Versatec.  Page offset is set to 1
74                      inch.
75
76
77       -x             If abstracts or comments are entered  following  the  %X
78                      field  key, roffbib will format them into paragraphs for
79                      an annotated bibliography.  Several  %X  fields  may  be
80                      given if several annotation paragraphs are desired.
