PTI(1)  —  USER COMMANDS

NAME

pti − phototypesetter interpreter

SYNOPSIS

pti [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Pti shows the commands in a stream from the standard output of troff(1) using troff’s −t option, interpreting them as they would act on the typesetter.  Horizontal motions shows as counts in internal units and are marked with ‘<’ and ‘>’ indicating left and right motion.  Vertical space is called leading and is also indicated. 

The output is really cryptic unless you are an experienced C/A/T hardware person.  It is better to use troff  −a.
