        !            23: output line into which they are assembled.
        !            24: The name `\fB\-\fP' means the standard input, and may be repeated.
        !            25: .PP
        !            26: Normally, each option affects only the
        !            27: .I file
        !            28: after it.
        !            29: If the option letter is capitalized it affects all subsequent files
        !            30: until it appears again uncapitalized.
        !            31: The options are described below.
        !            32: .IP \fB\-f\fP\ min.max
        !            33: Print line fragments according to
        !            34: .IR min.max ,
        !            35: where
        !            36: .I min
        !            37: is the minimum field width and
        !            38: .I max
        !            39: the maximum field width.
        !            40: If
        !            41: .I min
        !            42: begins with a zero, zeros will be added to make up the field width,
        !            43: and if it begins with a `\-', the fragment will be left-adjusted
        !            44: within the field.
        !            45: .IP \fB\-p\fP\ min.max
        !            46: Like \fB\-f\fP,

        !            53: This option may appear after the last file.
        !            54: .IP \fB\-t\fP\ c
        !            55: The input line terminator is
        !            56: .I c
        !            57: instead of a newline.
