NAME
proof - troff output interpreter
SYNOPSIS
proof [ -mmag ] [ -/nview ] [ -F dir ] [ -d ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
Proof reads troff(1) intermediate language from file or standard input
and simulates the resulting pages on the screen.
After a page of text is displayed, proof pauses for a command from the
keyboard. The typed commands are:
newline Go on to next page of text.
- Go back to the previous page.
q Quit.
pn Print page n. An out-of-bounds page number means the end
nearer to that number; a missing number means the current
page; a signed number means an offset to the current page.
n Same as pn.
c Clear the screen, then wait for another command.
mmag Change the magnification at which the output is printed.
Normally it is printed with magnification .9; mag=.5 shrinks
it to half size; mag=2 doubles the size.
xval Move everything val screen pixels to the right (left, if val
is negative).
yval Move everything val screen pixels down (up, if val is nega‐
tive).
/nview Split the window into nview pieces. The current page goes
into the rightmost, bottommost piece, and previous pages are
shown in the other pieces.
-F dir Use dir for fonts instead of /lib/font/bit.
d Toggle the debug flag.
These commands are also available, under slightly different form, from
a menu on button 3. The pan menu item allows arbitrary positioning of
the page: after selecting pan, press the mouse button again and hold it
down while moving the page to the desired location. The page will be
redisplayed in its entirety when the button is released. Mouse button
1 also pans, without the need for selecting from a menu.
The m, x, y, F, /, and d commands are also available as command line
options.
