.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility reads lines from the named
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
or the standard input if the
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
argument is omitted,
|
|
applies a configurable line numbering filter operation and writes the result
|
|
to the standard output.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility treats the text it reads in terms of logical pages.
|
|
Unless specified otherwise, line numbering is reset at the start of each
|
|
logical page.
|
|
A logical page consists of a header, a body and a footer
|
|
section; empty sections are valid.
|
|
Different line numbering options are
|
|
independently available for header, body and footer sections.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The starts of logical page sections are signalled by input lines containing
|
|
nothing but one of the following sequences of delimiter characters:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -column "\e:\e:\e:" "Start of" -offset indent
|
|
.Em "Line Start of"
|
|
.It "\e:\e:\e: header"
|
|
.It "\e:\e: body"
|
|
.It "\e: footer"
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the input does not contain any logical page section signalling directives,
|
|
the text being read is assumed to consist of a single logical page body.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl v Ar startnum"
|
|
.It Fl b Ar type
|
|
Specify the logical page body lines to be numbered.
|
|

|
The default
|
|

|
|
for logical page body lines is

|

|
|
second character remains unchanged.

using the corresponding
|
|
.Fl b Cm a ,
|
|
.Fl f Cm a
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl h Cm a
|
|
option,
|
|
specify the number of adjacent blank lines to be considered as one.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
2 results in only the second adjacent blank line being numbered.
|
