I was trying to render the troff file https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/blob/master/common/man/C/backintime-config.1 in terminal.
How can I make the output (using cat
or some other utility) look like the way man outputs troff file in the terminal?
Do I need to convert the troff file to some format understood by the terminal?
Note: I am not looking to export it to pdf or html
man

exists on at least (older) FreeBSD and Linux-based operating systems. – JdeBP Jul 7 '20 at 16:27groffer --tty your_file
is probably an easy way. (I see thatgroffer
is provided by the groff package on Ubuntu, which is likely not installed by default). – fra-san Jul 7 '20 at 18:14
