                     15:      _L_a_m laminates the named files onto the standard output.  The
                     16:      resulting output is the line-by-line concatenation of
                     17:      corresponding lines from each file named.  If the files are
                     18:      different lengths, empty lines are substituted for missing
                     19:      lines in the shorter files.
                     20: 
                     21:      Each _s_t_r_i_n_g argument is placed in the output line at the
                     22:      point that it appears in the argument list.  For example,
                     23:      lines from _f_i_l_e_1 and _f_i_l_e_2 can be laminated with a colon
                     24:      between each line from _f_i_l_e_1 and the corresponding line from
                     25:      _f_i_l_e_2 by the command
                     26:

                     31:      ment list.  If `-', is given for a filename the standard
                     32:      input is read at that point.  If a file is named more than
                     33:      once, each of its lines will be duplicated on the output
                     34:      line, except that if standard input is named more than once,
                     35:      its lines will be read alternately.  For example, each pair
                     36:      of lines from standard input can be joined onto one line
                     37:      with a space between them by the command
