- In the first two forms, _pppp_aaaa_ssss_tttt_eeee concatenates corresponding lines of the
- given input files _f_i_l_e_1, _f_i_l_e_2, and so on. It treats each file as a
- column or columns of a table and pastes them together horizontally
- (parallel merging). If you will, it is the counterpart of _cccc_aaaa_tttt(1) which
- concatenates vertically, that is, one file after the other. In the last
- form above, _pppp_aaaa_ssss_tttt_eeee replaces the function of an older command with the same
- name by combining subsequent lines of the input file (serial merging).
- If more than one file is specified with the _----_ssss option, _pppp_aaaa_ssss_tttt_eeee(1)
- concatenates the merged files one below the other. In all cases, lines
- are glued together with the _t_a_b character, or with characters from an
- optionally specified _l_i_s_t. Output is to the standard output, so it can
- be used as the start of a pipe, or as a filter, if _---- is used in place of
- a file name. _pppp_aaaa_ssss_tttt_eeee processes supplementary code set characters in _f_i_l_e_s,
- and recognizes supplementary code set characters in the _l_i_s_t given to the
- _----_dddd option (see below) according to the locale specified in the _LLLL_CCCC______CCCC_TTTT_YYYY_PPPP_EEEE
- environment variable [see _LLLL_AAAA_NNNN_GGGG on _eeee_nnnn_vvvv_iiii_rrrr_oooo_nnnn(5)].
-
- The meanings of the options are:
-
- _----_dddd Without this option, the new-line characters of each but the last
- file (or last line in case of the _----_ssss option) are replaced by a _t_a_b
- character. This option allows replacing the _t_a_b character by one or
- more alternate characters (see below).
-
- _l_i_s_t One or more characters immediately following _----_dddd replace the default
- _t_a_b as the line concatenation character. The list is used
- sequentially and circularly: first, the first element on the list is
- used to concatenate the lines, then the next, and so on; when all
- elements have been used, the list is reused starting from the first
- element. In parallel merging (that is, no _----_ssss option), the lines
- from the last file are always terminated with a new-line character,
- not from the _l_i_s_t. The list may contain the special escape
- sequences: _\\\\_nnnn (new-line), _\\\\_tttt (tab), _\\\\_\\\\ (backslash), and _\\\\_0000 (empty
- string, not a null character). Quoting may be necessary, if
- characters have special meaning to the shell (for example, to get
- one backslash, use -_d"\\\\" ). _l_i_s_t may contain supplementary code
- set characters.
-
- _----_ssss Merge subsequent lines rather than one from each input file. Use
- _t_a_b for concatenation, unless a _l_i_s_t is specified with _----_dddd option.
- Regardless of the _l_i_s_t, the very last character of the file is
- forced to be a new-line.
