51.SH DESCRIPTION
52The
53.B @g@nroff
54script emulates the
55.B nroff
56command using groff.
57Only 
58.BR ascii ,
59.BR latin1 ,
60.BR koi8-r ,
61.BR utf8 ,
62and
63.B cp1047
64are valid arguments for the
65.B -T
66option.
67If an invalid or no
68.BR \-T
69option is given,
70.B @g@nroff
71checks the current locale to select a default output device.
72It first tries the
73.B locale
74program, then the environment variables
75.BR LC_ALL ,
76.BR LC_CTYPE ,
77and
78.BR LANG ,
79and finally the
80.B LESSCHARSET
81environment variable.
82.PP
83The
84.B \-h
85option
86is equivalent to the
87.BR grotty 's
88.B \-h
89option (i.e., using tabs in the output).
90The
91.BR \-i ,
92.BR \-n ,
93.BR \-m ,
94.B \-o
95and
96.B \-r
97options have the effect described in
98.BR @g@troff (@MAN1EXT@).
99In addition,
100.B @g@nroff
101silently ignores the options
102.BR \-e ,
103.BR \-q ,
104and
105.BR \-s
106(which are not implemented in
107.BR @g@troff ).
108Options 
109.B \-p
110(pic),
111.B \-t
112(tbl),
113.B \-S
114(safer), and
115.B \-U
116(unsafe) are passed to
117.BR groff . 
118.B \-S
119is passed by default.
120.B \-v
121shows the version number.
122.SH ENVIRONMENT
123.TP
124.SM
125.B GROFF_BIN_PATH
126A colon separated list of directories in which to search for the
127.B groff
128executable before searching in PATH.  If unset, `@BINDIR@' is used.
129.SH NOTES
130This shell script is basically intended for use with
131.BR man (1),
132so warnings are suppressed.
133nroff-style character definitions (in the file tty-char.tmac) are also
134loaded to emulate unrepresentable glyphs.
