|
|
.Nm

.Op Fl d Ar list
|
|
.Ar file ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility concatenates the corresponding lines of the given input files,
|
|
replacing all but the last file's newline characters with a single tab
|
|
character, and writes the resulting lines to standard output.
|
|
If end-of-file is reached on an input file while other input files
|
|
still contain data, the file is treated as if it were an endless source
|
|
of empty lines.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Fl d Ar list
|
|
Use one or more of the provided characters to replace the newline
|
|
characters instead of the default tab.
|
|
The characters in
|
|
.Ar list
|
|
are used circularly, i.e., when
|
|
.Ar list
|
|
is exhausted the first character from
|
|
.Ar list
|
|
is reused.
|
|
This continues until a line from the last input file (in default operation)
|
|
or the last line in each file (using the -s option) is displayed, at which
|
|
time
|
|
.Nm
|
|
begins selecting characters from the beginning of
|
|
.Ar list
|
|
again.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following special characters can also be used in list:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag -compact
|
|
.It Li \en
|
|
newline character
|
|
.It Li \et
|
|
tab character
|
|
.It Li \e\e
|
|
backslash character
|
|
.It Li \e0
|
|
Empty string (not a null character).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any other character preceded by a backslash is equivalent to the
|
|
character itself.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Concatenate all of the lines of each separate input file in command line
|
|
order.
|
|
The newline character of every line except the last line in each input
|
|
file is replaced with the tab character, unless otherwise specified by
|
|
the -d option.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ql Fl
|
|
is specified for one or more of the input files, the standard
|
|
input is used; standard input is read one line at a time, circularly,
|
|
for each instance of
|
|
.Ql Fl .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
