+.Nm vgrind

+.Op Fl d Ar file
+.Op Fl f
+.Op Fl h Ar header
+.Op Fl l Ar language
+.Op Fl n
+.Op Fl sn
+.Op Fl t

+.Ar name Ar ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Vgrind
+formats the program sources which are arguments
+in a nice style using
+.Xr troff 1 .
+Comments are placed in italics, keywords in bold face,
+and the name of the current function is listed down the margin of each
+page as it is encountered.
+.Pp
+.Nm Vgrind
+runs in two basic modes, filter mode (see the
+.Fl f
+option) or regular mode. In filter mode
+.Nm vgrind
+acts as a filter in a manner similar to
+.Xr tbl 1 .
+The standard input is passed directly to the standard output except
+for lines bracketed by the
+.Em troff-like
+macros:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It \&.vS
+starts processing
+.It \&.vE
+ends processing
+.El
+.Pp
+These lines are formatted as described above. The output from this
+filter can be passed to
+.Xr troff
+for output. There need be no particular ordering with
+.Xr eqn 1
+or
+.Xr tbl 1 .
+.Pp
+In regular mode
+.Nm vgrind
+accepts input files, processes them, and passes them to
+.Xr troff 1
+for output.
+.Pp
+In both modes
+.Nm vgrind
+passes any lines beginning with a decimal point without conversion.
+.Pp
+The options are:
+.Bl -tag -width Ar
+.It Fl
+forces input to be taken from standard input (default if
+.Fl f
+is specified )
+.It Fl W
+forces output to the (wide) Versatec printer rather than the (narrow)
+Varian
+.It Fl d Ar file
+specifies an alternate language definitions
+file (default is
+.Pa /usr/share/misc/vgrindefs )
+.It Fl f
+forces filter mode
+.It Fl h Ar header
+specifies a particular header to put on every output page (default is
+the file name)
+.It Fl l
+specifies the language to use. Currently known are
+.Tn PASCAL
+.Pq Fl l Ns Ar p ,
+.Tn MODEL
+.Pq Fl l Ns Ar m ,
+C
+.Pf ( Fl l Ns Ar c
+or the default),
+.Tn CSH
+.Pq Fl l Ns Ar csh ,
+.Tn SHELL
+.Pq Fl l Ns Ar sh ,
+.Tn RATFOR
+.Pq Fl l Ns Ar r ,
+.Tn MODULA2
+.Pq Fl l Ns Ar mod2 ,
+.Tn YACC
+.Pq Fl l Ns Ar yacc ,
+.Tn LISP
+.Pq Fl l Ns Ar isp ,
+and
+.Tn ICON
+.Pq Fl l Ns Ar I .
+.It Fl n
+forces no keyword bolding
+.It Fl s
+specifies a point size to use on output (exactly the same as the argument
+of a .ps)
+.It Fl t
+similar to the same option in
+.Xr troff
+causing formatted text to go to the standard output
+.It Fl x
+outputs the index file in a ``pretty'' format.
+The index file itself is produced whenever
+.Nm vgrind
+is run with a file called
+.Pa index
+in the current directory.
+The index of function
+definitions can then be run off by giving
+.Nm vgrind
+the
+.Fl x
+option and the file
+.Pa index
+as argument.

+.It Pa /usr/share/tmac/tmac.vgrind

+language descriptions
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr lpr 1 ,
+.Xr troff 1 ,
+.Xr getcap 3 ,
+.Xr vgrindefs 5
+.Sh BUGS
+Vfontedpr assumes that a certain programming style is followed:
+.Pp
+For
+.Tn C
+\- function names can be preceded on a line only by spaces, tabs, or an
+asterisk. The parenthesized arguments must also be on the same line.
+.Pp
+For
+.Tn PASCAL
+\- function names need to appear on the same line as the keywords
+.Em function
+or
+.Em procedure .
+.Pp
+For
+.Tn MODEL
+\- function names need to appear on the same line as the keywords
+.Em is beginproc .
+.Pp
+If these conventions are not followed, the indexing and marginal function
+name comment mechanisms will fail.
+.Pp
+More generally, arbitrary formatting styles for programs mostly look bad.
+The use of spaces to align source code fails miserably; if you plan to
+.Nm vgrind
+your program you should use tabs. This is somewhat inevitable since the
+font used by
+.Nm vgrind
+is variable width.
+.Pp
+The mechanism of
+.Xr ctags 1
+in recognizing functions should be used here.
+.Pp
+Filter mode does not work in documents using the
+.Fl me
+or
+.Fl ms
+macros.
+(So what use is it anyway?)
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 3.0 .
