       This version of the soelim utility was written by Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@freebsd.org>.

Debian                                            July 4, 2017                                         SOELIM(1)

soelim reads files lines by lines.

       If  a  line  starts by: “.so anotherfile” it replace the line by processing “anotherfile”.  Otherwise the
       line is printed to stdout.

       -C      Recognise .so when not followed by a space character.

       -r      Compatibility with GNU groff's soelim (does nothing).

       -t      Compatibility with GNU groff's soelim (does nothing).

       -v      Compatibility with GNU groff's soelim (does nothing).

       -Idir  This option specify directories where soelim searches for files (both those on the  command  line
               and  those  named  in  “.so”  directive.)   This  options  may  be specified multiple times.  The
               directories will be searched in the order specified.

       The files are always searched first in the current directory.

       A file specified with an absolute path will be opened directly without performing a search.
