groff: Macro Directories

 
 2.3 Macro Directories
 =====================
 
 A macro file must have a name in the form 'NAME.tmac' or 'tmac.NAME' and
 be placed in a "tmac directory" to be found by the '-mNAME' command-line
 option.(1)  (⇒Macro Directories-Footnote-1) Together, these
 directories constitute the "tmac path".  Each directory is searched in
 the following order until the desired macro file is found or the list is
 exhausted.
 
    * Directories specified with GNU 'troff''s or 'groff''s '-M'
      command-line option.
 
    * Directories listed in the 'GROFF_TMAC_PATH' environment variable.
 
    * The current working directory (only if in unsafe mode using the
      '-U' command-line option).
 
    * The user's home directory, 'HOME'.
 
    * A platform-dependent directory, a site-local (platform-independent)
      directory, and the main tmac directory.  The locations
      corresponding to your installation are listed in section
      "Environment" of 'gtroff(1)'.  If not otherwise configured, they
      are as follows.
 
           /usr/local/lib/groff/site-tmac
           /usr/local/share/groff/site-tmac
           /usr/local/share/groff/1.23.0/tmac
 
      The foregoing assumes that the version of 'groff' is 1.23.0, and
      that the installation prefix was '/usr/local'.  It is possible to
      fine-tune these locations during the source configuration process.
