User Commands                                           soelim(1)



NAME
     soelim - resolve and eliminate .so requests  from  nroff  or
     troff input

SYNOPSIS
     soelim [filename]...


DESCRIPTION
     soelim reads the specified files or the standard  input  and
     performs  the  textual  inclusion  implied  by  the nroff(1)
     directives of the form:

       .so somefile




     when they appear at the beginning of input lines.


     This is useful as programs such as tbl(1) 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.


     An argument consisting of - is  taken  to  be  a  file  name
     corresponding to the standard input.


     Inclusion can be suppressed by  using  a  single  quote  (')
     instead of a dot (.) that is,

        ' so /usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.s



EXAMPLES
     Example 1 Using the soelim Command

       example% soelim exum?.n  tbl  nroff -ms  col  lpr
