NAME
       soelim - interpret .so requests in groff input

SYNOPSIS
       soelim [ -Cv ] [ -Idir ] [ files... ]

       It is possible to have whitespace between the -I command line option and its parameter.

DESCRIPTION
       soelim reads files and replaces lines of the form

              .so file

       by  the contents of file.  It is useful if files included with so need to be preprocessed.
       Normally, soelim should be invoked with the -s option of groff.

       Note that there must be no whitespace between the leading dot and the two  characters  's'
       and 'o'.  Otherwise, only groff interprets the .so request (and soelim ignores it).

OPTIONS
       -C     Recognize .so even when followed by a character other than space or newline.

       -Idir  This  option  may be used to specify a directory to search for files (both those on
              the command line and those named in .so lines).  The current  directory  is  always
              searched  first.  This option may be specified more than once, the directories will
              be searched in the order specified.  No directory search  is  performed  for  files
              specified using an absolute path.

       -v     Print the version number.
