.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This manual page
|
|
documents the GNU version of
|
|
.BR paste .
|
|
.B paste
|
|
prints lines consisting of sequentially corresponding lines of each
|
|
given file, separated by TABs, terminated by a newline. If no files
|
|
are given, the standard input is used. A file name of `-' means
|
|
standard input.
|
|
.SS OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-s, \-\-serial"
|
|
Paste the lines of one file at a time rather than one line from each file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-d, \-\-delimiters delim-list"
|
|
Consecutively use the characters in
|
|
.I delim-list
|
|
instead of TAB to separate merged lines. When
|
|
.I delim-list
|
|
is exhausted, start again at its beginning.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as `\-\-',
|
|
for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually support for `+'
|
|
will be removed, because it is incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard.
