Head
----
CLI usage: head [lines <num>] file
WB usage: hold down the SHIFT key, click on the head.iconx, then double
click on the required text icon
This program displays the first <num> lines of a file.
The lines <num> is optional. If present then the first <num> lines of
the file are displayed, if missing then the program defaults to 10 lines.
Note that the letter `l' can be used as a synonym for `lines'. For WB usage
the program always displays the first ten lines.
eg. To display the first 15 lines of the file `foo'
head lines 15 foo
To display the first 10 lines of file `fred'
head fred
