ABUT(1)                UNIX User's Manual                 ABUT(1)

NAME
     abut - formatted printing of corresponding lines from files

SYNOPSIS
     abut [-f format] [-nc] [-] file1 file2 ...

DESCRIPTION
     _▶08◀A_▶08◀b_▶08◀u_▶08◀t makes a list of files with N lines into one file with N
     lines by printing all the first lines of those files on one
     line, then the second lines, and so on, until all the lines
     from the longest file have been printed (but see the -_▶08◀c
     option).  _▶08◀A_▶08◀b_▶08◀u_▶08◀t reads from its file arguments in the order
     they appear in the call to _▶08◀a_▶08◀b_▶08◀u_▶08◀t and prints to the standard
     output.  As a special case, the file names "-" is used as
     the standard input (please don't use more than one on the
     same command line!).  Any white space at the end of lines is
     removed, but at least one space between fields from dif-
     ferent files is guaranteed.

OPTIONS
     -n   All output lines are _▶08◀n_▶08◀u_▶08◀m_▶08◀b_▶08◀e_▶08◀r_▶08◀e_▶08◀d beginning with 1.

     -c   _▶08◀C_▶08◀y_▶08◀c_▶08◀l_▶08◀e through lines of short files until longest is
          exhausted.  _▶08◀A_▶08◀b_▶08◀u_▶08◀t will continue printing until all files
          have been exhausted once.  Files with fewer lines than
          the longest will be rewound and printed again.

     -f format
          print fields in the specified format.  Positive
          integers specify the field width.  Negative integers
          imply a left-justified field.  The default printing
          format is to put a tab between corresponding lines of
          separate files.
