+Removes the space between its argument and the following macro.
Its syntax is as follows:
.Pp
.D1 .Pf Ar prefix macro arguments ...
.Pp
This is equivalent to:
.Pp
-.D1 .No Ar prefix No \&Ns Ar macro arguments ...
+.D1 .No \e& Ns Ar prefix No \&Ns Ar macro arguments ...
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar prefix
+argument is not parsed for macro names or delimiters,
+but used verbatim as if it were escaped.
.Pp
Examples:
.Dl ".Pf $ Ar variable_name"
+.Dl ".Pf . Ar macro_name"
.Dl ".Pf 0x Ar hex_digits"
.Pp
