The filters are deciphered by a number of means. Firstly,
the command line option -p or the environment variable
$MANROFFSEQ is interrogated. If -p was not used and the
environment variable was not set, the initial line of the
nroff file is parsed for a preprocessor string. To contain
a valid preprocessor string, the first line must resemble
'\" <string>
where string can be any combination of letters described
by option -p below.
