Right, it didn't exist in groff 1.22.4. The request was added in groff 1.24.0. The item from the 1.24.0 release notes says, "A new request, `pline`, reports to the standard error stream the list of output nodes (an internal data structure) corresponding to the pending output line. The list is empty if no such nodes exist." > (Also: Was -z or -Z intended? "jq" is a JSON processor on my system.) I presume -z was intended; this tells groff to suppress stdout. Then the following "2>&1" directs stderr to stdout so that it can be piped. The pline output is in JSON format.
