recite(1) General Commands Manual recite(1)NAME
recite - english text speech synthesizer
SYNOPSIS
recite [ option... ][ infile [ outfile ]]
recite -Help
recite -VERSion
DESCRIPTION
The recite program is used to read english text and speak the words from the workstation's speaker.
By default, the standard input is read and the english text is spoken from the speaker. If a file name is given on the command line, the
text is taken from the file rather than the standard input. If a second file is named, a ulaw encoded file is written to the named file,
rather then emitting it from the speaker. This file will be compatible with Sun's audiotool(1).
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-Write_Phonemes
The option may be used to cause the translation process to cease after the text has been translated into phonemes. The phonemes
will be emitted on the standard output, or to the appropriate file if an output file has been specified.
-Help
Provide some help with using the recite program.
-VERSion
Print the version of the recite program being executed.
All other options will produce a diagnostic error. Options may be abbreviated, the minimum abbreviation is shown in upper-case. Options
are case insensitive. Options and file names may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line.
EXIT STATUS
The recite program will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The recite program will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no
errors.

ROFFPP(1) General Commands Manual ROFFPP(1)NAME
roffpp - replace .so requests within *roff sources
SYNOPSIS
roffpp [ option... ][ infile [ outfile ]]
roffpp -Help
roffpp -VERSion
DESCRIPTION
The roffpp command may be used to copies the input file to the output file, including files named using .so directives along the way, and
removing the .so directives.
This is useful when processing large multi-file documents with filters such as tbl(1) or eqn(1) which do not understand the .so directive.
The .nx directive is not understood. The roffpp program is not a general *roff interpreter, so many constructs will be beyond it,
fortunately, most of them have nothing to do with include files. Include files which cannot be found, probably from uninterpreted *roff
constructs, if the files really does exist, will simply be passed through unchanged, for *roff to interpret at a later time.
The roffpp program also allows the user to specify an include search path. This allows, for example, common files to be kept in a central
location.
Only directives of the form
.so filename
are processed. If the directive is introduced using the single quote form, or the dot is not the first character of the line, the
directive will be ignored.
Any extra arguments on the line are ignored, and quoting is not understood. All characters are interpreted literally.
Examples of directives which will be ignored include
'so /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.an
.if n .so yuck
This list is not exhaustive.
The special file name `-' on the command line means the standard input or standard output, as appropriate. Files which are omitted are
also assumed to be the standard input or standard output, as appropriate.
The output attempts to keep file names and line numbers in sync by using the .lf directive. The .lf directive is also understood as
input. This is compatible with groff(1) and the other GNU text utilities included in the groff package.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood.
-Ipath
Specify include path, a la cc(1). Include paths are searched in the order specified. The include search path defaults to the
current directory if and only if the user does not specify any include search paths.
-Help
Give information on how to use roffpp.
-VERSion
Tell what version of roffpp is being run.
Any other option will generate a diagnostic error.
All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are
optional. You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.
All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.
For example: the arguments "-help", "-HEL" and "-h" are all interpreted to mean the -Help option. The argument "-hlp" will not be
understood, because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.
Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line.
The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for roffpp are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The
"--option=value" convention is also understood.
EXIT STATUS
The roffpp command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The roffpp command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no
errors.
