NAME

paste - merge lines of files  

SYNOPSIS

paste [-s] [-d delim-list] [--serial] [--delimiters=delim-list] [file...]  

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the GNU version of paste. paste prints lines consisting of sequentially corresponding lines of each given file, separated by TABs, terminated by a newline. If no files are given, the standard input is used. A file name of `-' means standard input.  

OPTIONS

-s, --serial
Paste the lines of one file at a time rather than one line from each file.
-d, --delimiters delim-list
Consecutively use the characters in delim-list instead of TAB to separate merged lines. When delim-list is exhausted, start again at its beginning.

The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as `--', for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually support for `+' will be removed, because it is incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard.
