- NAME
- Paginate - add or remove formfeeds in text files
-
- SYNOPSIS
- paginate [-pNNftNNbNNd] [inputfile [outputfile]]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- By default, Paginate removes the padding lines that are used in
- lieu of a formfeed to advance each page of 66 lines, and substitu-
- tes a formfeed. It retains any formfeeds found in the file. This
- behavior can be modified as follows:
-
- -pNN Use a page length other than the default of 66 lines. If a
- page length different from the original is used, either the
- input file should be re-formatted for that page length, or
- the -t and -b options should be used.
-
- -f Ignore formfeeds in the input file. Substitute a newline for
- each formfeed.
-
- -tNN Substitute top margins of NN lines in place of the margins
- used in the input file. If a substitute margin is used,
- leading blank lines in the input file are thrown away.
-
- -bNN Substitute bottom margins of NN lines in place of the mar-
- gins used in the input file.
-
- -d De-paginate the file. Substitute blank padding lines to
- eject the page in place of each formfeed found in the input
- file.
-
- FILES
- Paginate may be used as a filter, or it may be used with input and
- output files specified. If one argument is given, Paginate
- attempts to use that argument as its input file. If two arguments
- are given, Paginate attempts to use the second argument as its
- output file.

- ters.
