<H2>NAME</H2>
zsoelim - satisfy .so requests in roff input
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<B>zsoelim</B>
[<B>-CVh</B>]
[<I>file</I>
...]
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>zsoelim</B>
parses
<I>file</I>
arguments, or if none are specified, its standard input for lines of the
form:
<P>
<B>.so</B>
&lt;<I>filename</I>&gt;
<P>
These requests are replaced by the contents of the
<I>filename</I>
specified.
If the request cannot be met,
<B>zsoelim</B>
looks for
<I>filename.ext</I>
where
<I>.ext</I>
can be one of
<B>.gz</B>,
<B>.Z</B>
or
<B>.z</B>.
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.
<P>
Traditionally,
<B>soelim</B>
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.

<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1"><B>-C</B>, <B>--compatible</B>
<DD>
This flag is available for compatibility with other
<B>soelim</B>
programs.
Its use is to enable .so requests followed by something other than
whitespace.
As this is already the default behaviour, it is ignored.
<DT id="2"><B>-h</B>, <B>--help</B>
<DD>
Print a help message and exit.
<DT id="3"><B>-V</B>, <B>--version</B>
<DD>
Display version information.
