Written by %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, and others.

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

Examples: %s f - g Output f's contents, then standard input, then g's contents. %s Copy standard input to standard output.

The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed when the -R option is also specified. If more than one is specified, only the final one takes effect. -H if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it -L traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered -P do not traverse any symbolic links (default)

-R --dereference requires either -H or -L

Examples: %s staff /u Change the group of /u to "staff". %s -hR staff /u Change the group of /u and subfiles to "staff".

Change the mode of each FILE to MODE. -c, --changes like verbose but report only when a change is made

--no-preserve-root do not treat `/' specially (the default) --preserve-root fail to operate recursively on `/'

Examples: %s root /u Change the owner of /u to "root". %s root:staff /u Likewise, but also change its group to "staff". %s -hR root /u Change the owner of /u and subfiles to "root".

With no options, produce three-column output. Column one contains lines unique to FILE1, column two contains lines unique to FILE2, and column three contains lines common to both files.

-1 suppress lines unique to FILE1 -2 suppress lines unique to FILE2 -3 suppress lines that appear in both files

Print selected parts of lines from each FILE to standard output.

Display the current time in the given FORMAT, or set the system date. -d, --date=STRING display time described by STRING, not `now' -f, --file=DATEFILE like --date once for each line of DATEFILE

%F full date; same as %Y-%m-%d %g last two digits of year of ISO week number (see %G) %G year of ISO week number (see %V); normally useful only with %V

direct use direct I/O for data

dsync use synchronized I/O for data

sync likewise, but also for metadata

nonblock use non-blocking I/O

nofollow do not follow symlinks

binary use binary I/O for data

text use text I/O for data

offset overflow while reading file %s

fdatasync failed for %s

offset too large: cannot truncate to a length of seek=%<PRIuMAX> (%lu-byte) blocks

truncating at %<PRIuMAX> bytes in output file %s

cannot stat current directory (now %s)

Convert tabs in each FILE to spaces, writing to standard output. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

tab size contains invalid character(s): %s

tab size cannot be 0

tab sizes must be ascending

Exit status is 0 if EXPRESSION is neither null nor 0, 1 if EXPRESSION is null or 0, 2 if EXPRESSION is syntactically invalid, and 3 if an error occurred.

invalid option -- %c; -WIDTH is recognized only when it is the first option; use -w N instead

-b, --bytes count bytes rather than columns -s, --spaces break at spaces -w, --width=WIDTH use WIDTH columns instead of 80

%s: cannot seek to offset %s

%s: %s is so large that it is not representable

cannot find name for user ID %lu

cannot find name for group ID %lu

empty tab

incompatible tabs

both files cannot be standard input

no process ID specified

Exit status is 0 if OK, 1 if minor problems, 2 if serious trouble.

-b, --binary read in binary mode

%s: FAILED open or read

OK

%s: read error

the --binary and --text options are meaningless when verifying checksums

the --status option is meaningful only when verifying checksums

the --warn option is meaningful only when verifying checksums

Write each FILE to standard output, with line numbers added. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
