+.Sh NAME
+.Nm checknr
+.Nd check nroff/troff files
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm checknr
+.Op Fl a Ns Ar \&.x1.y1.x2.y2. ... \&.xn.yn
+.Op Fl c Ns Ar \&.x1.x2.x3 ... \&.xn
+.Op Fl s
+.Op Fl f
+.Ar file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Checknr
+checks a list of
+.Xr nroff 1
+or
+.Xr troff 1
+input files for certain kinds of errors
+involving mismatched opening and closing delimiters
+and unknown commands.
+If no files are specified,
+.Nm checknr
+checks the standard input.
+.Pp
+Options:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl a
+Add additional pairs of macros to the list of known macros.
+This must be followed by groups of six characters, each group defining
+a pair of macros.
+The six characters are
+a period,
+the first macro name,
+another period,
+and the second macro name.
+For example, to define a pair .BS and .ES, use
+.Sq Li \-a.BS.ES
+.It Fl c
+Define commands which would otherwise be complained about
+as undefined.
+.It Fl f
+Request
+.Nm checknr
+to ignore
+.Ql \ef
+font changes.
+.It Fl s
+Ignore
+.Ql \es
+size changes.
+.El
+.Pp
+Delimiters checked are:
+.Bl -enum
+.It
+Font changes using \efx ... \efP.
+.It
+Size changes using \esx ... \es0.
+.It
+Macros that come in open ... close forms, for example,
+the .TS and .TE macros which must always come in pairs.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Nm Checknr
+is intended for use on documents that are prepared with
+.Nm checknr
+in mind, much the same as
+.Xr lint 1 .
+It expects a certain document writing style for
+.Ql \ef
+and
+.Ql \es
+commands,
+in that each
+.Ql \efx
+must be terminated with
+.Ql \efP
+and
+each
+.Ql \esx
+must be terminated with
+.Ql \es0 .
+While it will work to directly go into the next font or explicitly
+specify the original font or point size,
+and many existing documents actually do this,
+such a practice will produce complaints from
+.Nm checknr .
+Since it is probably better to use the
+.Ql \efP
+and
+.Ql \es0
+forms anyway,
+you should think of this as a contribution to your document
+preparation style.
+.Pp
+.Nm Checknr
+knows about the
+.Xr ms 7
+and
+.Xr me 7
+macro packages.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr nroff 1 ,
+.Xr troff 1 ,
+.Xr checkeq 1 ,
+.Xr ms 7 ,
+.Xr me 7
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bd -ragged -compact
+Complaints about unmatched delimiters.
+Complaints about unrecognized commands.
+Various complaints about the syntax of commands.
+.Ed
+.Sh BUGS
+There is no way to define a 1 character macro name using
+.Fl a .
+.Pp
+Does not correctly recognize certain reasonable constructs,
+such as conditionals.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 4.0 .
