MM (l)
HINTS
MM (l)
Mm reads the standard input when - is specified instead of any
file names. (Mentioning other files together with - leads to disaster.)
This option allows mm to be used as a filter, e.g.:
cat dws I mm -
Checkmm is a program for checking the contents of the named
files for errors in the use of the Memorandum Macros, missing or �
unbalanced neqn delimiters, and .EQ/ .EN pairs. Note: The user
need not use the checkeq program (see eqn(l)). Appropriate messages
are produced. The program skips all directories, and if no
file name is given, standard input is read.

Mm invokes nroff with the -h flag. With this flag, nroff
assumes that the terminal has tabs set every 8 character
positions.
Use the -olist option of nroff to specify ranges of pages
to be output. Note, however, that mm, if invoked with
one or more of the -e, -t, and - options, together with
the -olist option of nroff may cause a harmless "broken
pipe" diagnostic if the last page of the document is not
specified in list.
If you use the -8 option of nroff (to stop between pages of
output), use line-feed (rather than return or new-line) to
restart the output. The -8 option of nroff does not work
with the -c option of mm, or if mm automatically
invokes col(l) (see -c option above).
If you lie to mm about the kind of terminal its output will
be printed on, you'll get (often subtle) garbage; however,
if you are redirecting output into a file, use the -T37
option, and then use the appropriate terminal filter when
you actually print that file.

DIAGNOSTICS
mm "mm: no input file" if none of the arguments is a
readable file and mm is not used as a filter.
checkmm "Cannot open filename " if file(s) is unreadable. The
remaining output of the program is diagnostic of the
source file.
