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 runs in two basic modes, filter mode (see the .Fl f option) or regular mode. In filter mode .Nm 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 following troff-like macros: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .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 1 for output. There need be no particular ordering with .Xr eqn 1 or .Xr tbl 1 . .Pp In regular mode .Nm accepts input files, processes them, and passes them to .Xr troff 1 for output. Input is taken from standard input if .Sq - is specified instead of .Ar file . .Pp In both modes .Nm passes any lines beginning with a decimal point without conversion. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .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 Ar language 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 1 causing formatted text to go to the standard output .It Fl W Forces output to the (wide) Versatec printer rather than the (narrow) Varian. .It Fl x Outputs the index file in a .Dq pretty format. The index file itself is produced whenever .Nm 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 the .Fl x option and the file .Pa index as argument. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /usr/share/misc/vgrindefsxx -compact .It Pa index file where source for index is created .It Pa /usr/share/tmac/tmac.vgrind macro package .It Pa /usr/libexec/vfontedpr preprocessor .It Pa /usr/share/misc/vgrindefs language descriptions .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr lpr 1 , .Xr troff 1 , .Xr getcap 3 , .Xr vgrindefs 5 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command appeared in .Bx 3.0 . .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 your program you should use tabs. This is somewhat inevitable since the font used by .Nm 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?)
