114   If the letter 't' appears in
115   .I spec,
116   then the fields following will be printed for every ray traced,
117   not just the final result.
118 + If the capital letter 'T' is given instead of 't', then all rays will
119 + be reported, including shadow testing rays to light sources.
120   Spawned rays are indented one tab for each level.
121 + The dash marker ('-') is a handy way of differentiating the final ray
122 + value from traced values preceeding it, and should appear immediately
123 + after the
124 + .I \-o
125 + and before the rest of the specification.
126 + E.g.,
127 + .I \-o-vTmW
128   .IP
129   Note that there is no space between this option and its argument.
130   .TP
131 < .BI -te \ mat
131 > .BI -te \ mod
132   Append
133 < .I mat
133 > .I mod
134   to the trace exclude list,
135   so that it will not be reported by the trace option
136   .I (\-o*t*).
137   Any ray striking an object having
138 < .I mat
138 > .I mod
139   as its modifier will not be reported to the standard output with
140   the rest of the rays being traced.
141 < This option has no effect unless the 't' option has been given as
142 < part of the output specifier.
143 < Any number of excluded materials may be given, but each
141 > This option has no effect unless either the 't' or 'T'
142 > option has been given as part of the output specifier.
143 > Any number of excluded modifiers may be given, but each
144   must appear in a separate option.
145   .TP
146 < .BI -ti \ mat
146 > .BI -ti \ mod
147   Add
148 < .I mat
148 > .I mod
149   to the trace include list,
150 < so that it will be considered during the indirect calculation.
150 > so that it will be reported by the trace option.
151   The program can use either an include list or an exclude
152   list, but not both.
153   .TP
154   .BI -tE \ file
155   Same as
156   .I \-te,
157 < except read materials to be excluded from
157 > except read modifiers to be excluded from
158   .I file.
159   The RAYPATH environment variable determines which directories are
160   searched for this file.
161 < The material names are separated by white space in the file.
161 > The modifier names are separated by white space in the file.
162   .TP
163   .BI -tI \ file
164   Same as
165   .I \-ti,
166 < except read materials to be included from

167   .I file.

169   .BR \-i
# Line 427 | Line 442 | header of the ambient file.
442   .I Getinfo(1)
443   may be used to print out this information.
444   .TP
445 < .BI -ae \ mat
445 > .BI -ae \ mod
446   Append
447 < .I mat
447 > .I mod
448   to the ambient exclude list,
449   so that it will not be considered during the indirect calculation.
450   This is a hack for speeding the indirect computation by
451   ignoring certain objects.
452   Any object having
453 < .I mat
453 > .I mod
454   as its modifier will get the default ambient
455   level rather than a calculated value.
456 < Any number of excluded materials may be given, but each
456 > Any number of excluded modifiers may be given, but each
457   must appear in a separate option.
458   .TP
459 < .BI -ai \ mat
459 > .BI -ai \ mod
460   Add
461 < .I mat
461 > .I mod
462   to the ambient include list,
463   so that it will be considered during the indirect calculation.
464   The program can use either an include list or an exclude
# Line 452 | Line 467 | list, but not both.
467   .BI -aE \ file
468   Same as
469   .I \-ae,
470 < except read materials to be excluded from
470 > except read modifiers to be excluded from
471   .I file.
472   The RAYPATH environment variable determines which directories are
473   searched for this file.
474 < The material names are separated by white space in the file.
474 > The modifier names are separated by white space in the file.
475   .TP
476   .BI -aI \ file
477   Same as
478   .I \-ai,
479 < except read materials to be included from
479 > except read modifiers to be included from
480   .I file.

607   .SH ENVIRONMENT
608   RAYPATH         the directories to check for auxiliary files.
609   .SH FILES
610 < /usr/tmp/rtXXXXXX               common header information for picture sequence

612   If the program terminates from an input related error, the exit status
613   will be 1.
