DOCTYPE(1)                  General Commands Manual                 DOCTYPE(1)



NAME
       doctype - intuit command line for formatting a document

SYNOPSIS
       doctype [ option ...  ] [ file ] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Doctype  examines  a troff(1) input file to deduce the appropriate text
       formatting command and prints it on standard  output.   Doctype  recog‐
       nizes  input  for  troff(1), related preprocessors like eqn(1), and the
       ms(6) and mm macro packages.

       Option -n invokes nroff instead of troff.  Other options are passed  to
       troff.

EXAMPLES
       eval `{doctype chapter.?} | lp
              Typeset files named chapter.0, chapter.1, ...

SOURCE
