3-line page header with -F or a 5-line header and trailer with‐
out -F)
-h HEADER, --header=HEADER
use a centered HEADER instead of filename in page header, with
long headers left-hand-side truncation may occur, -h "" prints a
blank line, don't use -h""
-i[CHAR[WIDTH]], --output-tabs[=CHAR[WIDTH]]
replace spaces with CHARs (TABs) to tab WIDTH (8)
-J, --join-lines
merge full lines, turns off -W line truncation, no column align‐
ment, -S[STRING] sets separators
-l PAGE_LENGTH, --length=PAGE_LENGTH
set the page length to PAGE_LENGTH (66) lines (default number of
lines of text 56, and with -F 63)
-m, --merge
print all files in parallel, one in each column, truncate lines,
but join lines of full length with -J
-n[SEP[DIGITS]], --number-lines[=SEP[DIGITS]]
number lines, use DIGITS (5) digits, then SEP (TAB), default
counting starts with 1st line of input file
-N NUMBER, --first-line-number=NUMBER
start counting with NUMBER at 1st line of first page printed

-W, MARGIN will be added to PAGE_WIDTH
-r, --no-file-warnings

-s[CHAR],--separator[=CHAR]
separate columns by a single character, default for CHAR is the
<TAB> character without -w and 'no char' with -w -s[CHAR] turns
off line truncation of all 3 column options (-COLUMN|-a -COL‐
UMN|-m) except -w is set
-S[STRING], --sep-string[=STRING]
separate columns by an optional STRING, don't use -S "STRING",
-S only: No separator used (same as -S""), without -S: Default
separator <TAB> with -J and <space> otherwise (same as -S" "),
no effect on column options
-t, --omit-header omit page headers and trailers -T, --omit-pag‐
ination
omit page headers and trailers, eliminate any pagination by form
feeds set in input files
-v, --show-nonprinting
use octal backslash notation
-w PAGE_WIDTH, --width=PAGE_WIDTH
set page width to PAGE_WIDTH (72) characters for multiple text-
column output only, -s[char] turns off (72)
-W PAGE_WIDTH, --page-width=PAGE_WIDTH
set page width to PAGE_WIDTH (72) characters always, truncate
lines, except -J option is set, no interference with -S or -s
--help display this help and exit
