NAME

nfprint − Print the contents of a notesfile

SYNOPSIS

nfprint [ -p ] [ -l# ] [ -d or -nd ] [ -c ] [ -t ] topic [ note-list ]

DESCRIPTION

Nfprint gives the user the ability to print the contents of notesfiles.  Nfprint writes to standard output.  The text is formatted with pr(1). When the -c option is used, the output is filtered through cat(1) instead.

The -l# parameter specifies the page length to use (66 lines/page is the default).  By specifying -p, the printout is arranged so each base note starts on a new page.  The -d and -nd options specify only notes with the director flag on or off respectively are to be printed.  Use -t to generate a list of titles only; the text of notes and responses is suppressed. 

The note list is the set of notes which are to be printed.  An example note list is: 1,30-36,13,10,42-50.
