Purpose:
This utility is useful for scanning a group of files to find those with long
lines of text. In particular, it is sometimes useful prior to printing out
files, to see if any of them contain lines that are going to wrap on your
printer. This saves time if you care about the appearance of your listings. It
has also been used to catch program source files with lines longer than the
editor can handle or display, and alert the user.
To limit the output to only those files with unusually long lines, you can
specify a threshold length, below which no output will be generated for that
file.
Usage: ll {-threshold} filespec1 [filespec2]...
Examples:
C>LL *.BAS *.ASM <--- List the lengths of the longest lines in
each of the files matched.
C>LL -80 *.BAS <--- List any Basic programs with lines longer
than 80 characters.
C>LL *.DOC
DIRTOOLS.DOC...74 Characters.
STRUDOC.DOC ...72 Characters.
TEMPLATE.DOC...81 Characters.
TXTTOOLS.DOC...74 Characters.
