REV(1) General Commands Manual REV(1) NAME rev, revpag - reverse lines or pages SYNOPSIS rev [ file ... ] revpag [ option ... ] [ file ... ] DESCRIPTION Rev copies the standard input or the named files to the standard out- put, reversing the order of characters in every line. Revpag copies the standard input or the named files to the standard output, reversing the order of the pages. (The name means the standard input.) Options define what constitutes a `page': -d The input is troff(1) output; page breaks are encoded in it. -f Append a new-page character (014) to the last input page (which is the first page on the output), if this page is not of the de- clared length. -l n Set the number of lines per page in ordinary ASCII input (66 by default). A new-page character (014) is also recognized as a page break. -o list Output only pages whose page numbers appear in the comma-sepa- rated list of numbers and ranges. A `page number' means the or- dinal position of a page in the input. A range n-m means pages n through m. In a range, a missing m means the beginning; a missing n means the end.
