       -e[CHAR[WIDTH]], --expand-tabs[=CHAR[WIDTH]]
              expand input CHARs (TABs) to tab WIDTH (8)
       -F, -f, --form-feed
              use form feeds instead of  newlines  to  separate  pages  (by  a
              3-line  page header with -F or a 5-line header and trailer with-
              out -F)

       -m, --merge
              print all files in parallel, one in each column, truncate lines,
              but join lines of full length with -J
       -n[SEP[DIGITS]], --number-lines[=SEP[DIGITS]]
              number lines, use DIGITS (5) digits,  then  SEP  (TAB),  default
              counting starts with 1st line of input file
       -N, --first-line-number=NUMBER
              start  counting  with  NUMBER  at 1st line of first page printed

       -o, --indent=MARGIN
              offset each line with MARGIN (zero) spaces, do not affect -w  or
              -W, MARGIN will be added to PAGE_WIDTH
       -r, --no-file-warnings
              omit warning when a file cannot be opened
       -s[CHAR], --separator[=CHAR]
              separate  columns by a single character, default for CHAR is the
              <TAB> character without -w and 'no char' with -w -s[CHAR]  turns
              off  line  truncation  of all 3 column options (-COLUMN|-a -COL-
              UMN|-m) except -w is set
       -S[STRING], --sep-string[=STRING]
              separate columns by STRING, without -S: Default separator  <TAB>
              with -J and <space> otherwise (same as -S" "), no effect on col-
              umn options

       -W, --page-width=PAGE_WIDTH
              set page width to PAGE_WIDTH (72)  characters  always,  truncate
