.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
reads single lines from each
.Ar file
and writes them into one line, replacing
.Sy \en

.Sy \et
except from the last
.Ar file .
This process is repeated until each
.Ar file
is starved, treating zero-reads as empty lines along the way.

If
.Ar file
is '-',
.Nm
interprets it as stdin.
.Sh OPTIONS

Replace
.Sy \en

.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Nm
utility is compliant with the
.St -p1003.1-2013
specification.
Use ISO-date-format in manpages The one specified by mdoc is hard to read for non-native speakers from countries which read the date day-first (like Germany, Greece, North-Korea, Swamp,...). This is also consistent with how we generally specify dates at suckless.org. 2015-10-08 11:15:08 -04:00			`.Dd 2015-10-08`

Added POSIX paste(1) command implementation. This commit adds a simple implementation of the POSIX standard paste(1) command, and its man page. TODO and Makefile have been updated accordingly. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lohmann <20h@r-36.net> 2013-04-29 12:54:36 -04:00			`The`

POSIX 2013 audit Mostly manpage-shuffling according to the changes in the corrigendum, wording changes and more idiomatic expressions. All this is finished up by marking the POSIX 2013 conformant tools with .St -p1003.1-2013 which is not available in older mandoc builds or nroff, but which reflects what we actually did, so who cares? This is a huge step and it's not far until we can release sbase 0.1. 2015-03-27 12:22:48 -04:00			`.St -p1003.1-2013`
