.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mm catenates input files and writes them to the start of each output file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mm, upon receiving the
|
|
|
|
|
.B -a
|
|
|
|
|
option, will open subsequent outputs for appending rather than updating.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.B -i
|
|
|
|
|
option opens a path as an input. Without any inputs specified mm will use
|
|
|
|
|
standard input. Standard input itself can be specified by giving the path '-'.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.B -o
|
|
|
|
|
option opens a path as an output. Without any outputs specified mm will use
|
|
|
|
|
standard output. Standard output itself can be specified by giving the
|
|
|
|
|
path '-'. Standard error itself can be specified with the
|
|
|
|
|
.B -e
|
|
|
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.B -u
|
|
|
|
|
option ensures neither input or output will be buffered.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.B -n
|
|
|
|
|
option tells mm to ignore SIGINT signals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If an output can no longer be written mm prints a diagnostic message, ceases
|
|
|
|
|
writing to that particular output, and if there are more outputs specified,
|
|
|
|
|
continues, eventually exiting unsuccessfully.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
On error mm prints a diagnostic message and exits with the appropriate
|
