NAME
       paste - paste multiple files together

SYNOPSIS
       paste [-s] [-d list] file...

OPTIONS
       -d   # Set delimiter used to separate columns to list.

       -s   # Print files sequentially, file k on line k.

EXAMPLES
       paste file1 file2   # Print file1 in col 1, file2 in col 2

       paste -s f1 f2	   # Print f1 on line 1 and f2 on line 2

       paste -d : file1 file2
			   # Print the lines separated by a colon

DESCRIPTION
       Paste  concatenates  corresponding  lines  of the given input files and
       writes them to standard output. The lines of the	 different  files  are
       separated  by  the  delimiters  given with the option -s. If no list is
       given, a tab is substituted for every linefeed, except  the  last  one.
       If  end-of-file	is  hit	 on an input file, subsequent lines are empty.
       Suppose a set of k files each has one word per line.   Then  the	 paste
       output  will  have  k columns, with the contents of file j in column j.
       If the -s flag is given, then the first file is on line 1,  the	second
       file on line 2, etc.  In effect, -s turns the output sideways.

       If  a list of delimiters is given, they are used in turn.  The C escape
       sequences \n, \t, \\, and \0 are used for linefeed, tab, backslash, and
       the null string, respectively.
