description
zsoelim
parses file arguments, or if none are specified, its
standard input for lines of the form:
.so
<filename>
These requests
are replaced by the contents of the filename
specified. If the request cannot be met, zsoelim
looks for filename.ext where .ext can be one
of .gz, .Z or .z. Other extension types
may be supported depending upon compile time options. If the
request can be met by a compressed file, this file is
decompressed using an appropriate decompressor and its
output is used to satisfy the request.
Traditionally,
soelim programs were used to allow roff preprocessors
to be able to preprocess the files referred to by the
requests. This particular version was written to circumvent
problems created by support for compressed manual pages.
options
-C,
--compatible
This flag is available for
compatibility with other soelim programs. Its use is
to enable .so requests followed by something other than
whitespace. As this is already the default behaviour, it is
ignored.
-h,
--help
Print a help message and
exit.
-V,
--version
Display version
information.
