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.
