zsoelim - satisfy .so requests in roff input
zsoelim [-CVh] [file ...]
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.
-C 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 Print a help message and exit.
-V Display version and author information.
