The column +width is automatically decreased as \fICOLUMN\fP increases; unless you +use the \fI\-w\fP option to increase the page width as well, this +option might cause some columns to be truncated. +.TP +.I \-a +Print columns across rather than down. +.TP +.I \-b +Balance columns on the last page. +.TP +.I \-c +Print control characters using hat notation (e.g., `^G'); print other +unprintable characters in octal backslash notation. +.TP +.I \-d +Double space the output. +.TP +.I "\-e[in-tab-char[in-tab-width]]" +Expand tabs to spaces on input. Optional argument \fIin-tab-char\fP +is the input tab character, default tab. Optional argument +\fIin-tab-width\fP is the input tab character's width, default 8. +.TP +.I "\-F, \-f" +Use a formfeed instead of newlines to separate output pages. +.TP +.I "\-h header" +Replace the filename in the header with the string \fIheader\fP. +.TP +.I "\-\-help" +Print a usage message and exit with a non-zero status. +.TP +.I "\-i[out-tab-char[out-tab-width]]" +Replace spaces with tabs on output. Optional argument +\fIout-tab-char\fP is the output tab character, default tab. +Optional argument \fIout-tab-width\fP is the output tab character's +width, default 8. +.TP +.I "\-l page-length" +Set the page length to \fIpage-length\fP lines. The default is 66. +If \fIpage-length\fP is less than 10, the headers and footers are +omitted, as if the \fI\-t\fP option had been given. +.TP +.I \-m +Print all files in parallel, one in each column. +.TP +.I "\-n[number-separator[digits]]" +Precede each column with a line number; with parallel files, precede +each line with a line number. Optional argument +\fInumber-separator\fP is the character to print after each number, +default tab. Optional argument \fIdigits\fP is the number of digits +per line number, default 5. +.TP +.I "\-o left-margin" +Offset each line with a margin \fIleft-margin\fP spaces wide. The +total page width is this offset plus the width set with the \fI\-w\fP +option. +.TP +.I \-r +Do not print a warning message when an argument file cannot be opened. +Failure to open a file still makes the exit status nonzero, however. +.TP +.I "\-s[column-separator]" +Separate columns by the single character \fIcolumn-separator\fP, +default tab, instead of spaces. +.TP +.I \-t +Do not print the 5-line header and the 5-line trailer that are +normally on each page, and do not fill out the bottoms of pages (with +blank lines or formfeeds). +.TP +.I \-v +Print unprintable characters in octal backslash notation. +.TP +.I "\-\-version" +Print version information on standard output then exit. +.TP +.I "\-w page-width" +Set the page width to \fIpage-width\fP columns. The default is 72. |
