groff: Macro Directories

 
 2.3 Macro Directories
 =====================
 
 All macro file names must be named 'NAME.tmac' or 'tmac.NAME' to make
 the '-mNAME' command-line option work.  The 'mso' request doesn't have
 this restriction; any file name can be used, and 'gtroff' won't try to
 append or prepend the 'tmac' string.
 
    Macro files are kept in the "tmac directories", all of which
 constitute the "tmac path".  The elements of the search path for macro
 files are (in that order):
 
    * The directories specified with 'gtroff''s or 'groff''s '-M'
      command-line option.
 
    * The directories given in the 'GROFF_TMAC_PATH' environment
      variable.
 
    * The current directory (only if in unsafe mode using the '-U'
      command-line switch).
 
    * The home directory.
 
    * A platform-dependent directory, a site-specific
      (platform-independent) directory, and the main tmac directory; the
      default locations are
 
           /usr/local/lib/groff/site-tmac
           /usr/local/share/groff/site-tmac
           /usr/local/share/groff/1.22.3/tmac
 
      assuming that the version of 'groff' is 1.22.3, and the
      installation prefix was '/usr/local'.  It is possible to fine-tune
      those directories during the installation process.
