       Troff

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The  com-
       plete  documentation  for this version of TeX can be found
       in the info file or manual _W_e_b_2_C_: _A _T_e_X _i_m_p_l_e_m_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n.

       If _m_p_x_f_i_l_e is older than _m_p_f_i_l_e, translate the labels from
       the  MetaPost  input  file _m_p_f_i_l_e to low-level commands in
       _M_P_X_F_I_L_E,  by  running  mmppttoo  --tteexx,  tteexx,  and  ddvviittoommpp  by
       default;  or,  if  --ttrrooffff  is  specified, mmppttoo --ttrrooffff, eeqqnn
       --dd\\$$\\$$ || ttrrooffff --TTppoosstt, and ddmmpp.

       The current directory is used for writing temporary files.
       Errors are left in _m_p_x_e_r_r_._{_t_e_x_,_l_o_g_,_d_v_i_}.

       If  the  file named in _$_M_P_T_E_X_P_R_E (mptexpre.tex by default)
       exists, it is prepended to the output in tex mode.

       mmaakkeemmppxx is typically called by mmppoosstt, not from the command
       line.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       mmaakkeemmppxx accepts the following options:

       ----hheellpp Print help message and exit.

       ----tteexx  Assume input file contains TeX commands.

       ----ttrrooffff
              Assume input file contains Troff commands.

       ----vveerrssiioonn
              Print version information and exit.
