| 48 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
---|
[9070] | 49 | The |
---|
[25988] | 50 | .Nm |
---|
| 51 | utility copies the named files side by side onto the standard output. |
---|
| 52 | The |
---|
| 53 | .Em n-th |
---|
[9070] | 54 | input lines from the input |
---|
[25988] | 55 | .Ar files |
---|
[9070] | 56 | are considered fragments of the single long |
---|
[25988] | 57 | .Em n-th |
---|
[9070] | 58 | output line into which they are assembled. |
---|
| 59 | The name `\fB\-\fP' means the standard input, and may be repeated. |
---|
[25988] | 60 | .Pp |
---|
[9070] | 61 | Normally, each option affects only the |
---|
[25988] | 62 | .Ar file |
---|
[9070] | 63 | after it. |
---|
| 64 | If the option letter is capitalized it affects all subsequent files |
---|
| 65 | until it appears again uncapitalized. |
---|
[25988] | 66 | The options are described below: |
---|
| 67 | .Bl -tag -width indent |
---|
| 68 | .It Fl f Ar min . Ns Ar max |
---|
[9070] | 69 | Print line fragments according to the format string |
---|
[25988] | 70 | .Ar min . Ns Ar max , |
---|
[9070] | 71 | where |
---|
[25988] | 72 | .Ar min |
---|
[9070] | 73 | is the minimum field width and |
---|
[25988] | 74 | .Ar max |
---|
[9070] | 75 | the maximum field width. |
---|
| 76 | If |
---|
[25988] | 77 | .Ar min |
---|
[9070] | 78 | begins with a zero, zeros will be added to make up the field width, |
---|
| 79 | and if it begins with a `\-', the fragment will be left-adjusted |
---|
| 80 | within the field. |
---|
[25988] | 81 | .It Fl p Ar min . Ns Ar max |
---|
| 82 | Like |
---|
| 83 | .Fl f , |
---|
[9070] | 84 | but pad this file's field when end-of-file is reached |
---|
| 85 | and other files are still active. |
---|
[25988] | 86 | .It Fl s Ar sepstring |
---|
[9070] | 87 | Print |
---|
[25988] | 88 | .Ar sepstring |
---|
[9070] | 89 | before printing line fragments from the next file. |
---|
| 90 | This option may appear after the last file. |
---|
[25988] | 91 | .It Fl t Ar c |
---|
[9070] | 92 | The input line terminator is |
---|
[25988] | 93 | .Ar c |
---|
[9070] | 94 | instead of a newline. |
---|
| 95 | The newline normally appended to each output line is omitted. |
---|
[25988] | 96 | .El |
---|
| 97 | .Pp |
---|
[9070] | 98 | To print files simultaneously for easy viewing use |
---|

| 100 | .Sh EXAMPLES |
---|
[9070] | 101 | The command |
---|
[25988] | 102 | .Bd -literal |
---|
[9070] | 103 | lam file1 file2 file3 file4 |
---|
[25988] | 104 | .Ed |
---|
| 105 | .Pp |
---|
[9070] | 106 | joins 4 files together along each line. |
---|
| 107 | To merge the lines from four different files use |
---|
[25988] | 108 | .Bd -literal |
---|
[9070] | 109 | lam file1 \-S "\\ |
---|
| 110 | " file2 file3 file4 |
---|
[25988] | 111 | .Ed |
---|
| 112 | .Pp |
---|
[9070] | 113 | Every 2 lines of a file may be joined on one line with |
---|
[25988] | 114 | .Bd -literal |
---|
[9070] | 115 | lam \- \- < file |
---|
[25988] | 116 | .Ed |
---|
| 117 | .Pp |
---|
[9070] | 118 | and a form letter with substitutions keyed by `@' can be done with |
---|
[25988] | 119 | .Bd -literal |
---|
[9070] | 120 | lam \-t @ letter changes |
