|
- |
---|
The standard input. |
---|
Causes paste to read one line from the standard input. |
---|
-dlist |
---|
Delimiter. |
---|
If not specified, a tab character separates all columns. |
---|
The list is zero or more characters used for output delimiters, replacing the default tab character. |
The list must follow immediately after the -d option. |
If list consists of multiple characters, paste uses the first character to separate columns one and two, the second character between columns two and three, and so on. |
If the list is completely used and more columns exist, then the list is reused from the beginning. |
Thus it is a circular delimiter list. |
---|
The list may contain any of the following standard C escape sequences: |
\n | A newline
\t
| A tab
| \\
| A backslash;
| \0
| No character at all.
| Same as -d without a list. But may be used in multi- character list. Does not actually place a character on the output. |
---|
-s |
---|
Serial output. |
---|
Allows you to combine all lines
of each file into one line of output.
The -d option may be used to change the output delimiter. The last character of output is always a new-line. |
|
file_list | One or more files read and displayed in the appropriate format. |
