        !            31: .Nm Lptest
        !            32: writes the traditional "ripple test" pattern on standard output.
        !            33: In 96 lines,
        !            34: this pattern will print all 96 printable ASCII characters
        !            35: in each position.
        !            36: While originally created to test printers, it is quite
        !            37: useful for testing terminals,
        !            38: driving terminal ports for debugging purposes,
        !            39: or any other task where a quick supply of random data is needed.

        !            44: length of 79 is inappropriate.

        !            47: .Ar count
        !            48: argument specifies the number of output lines to be generated if
        !            49: the default count of 200 is inappropriate.
        !            50: Note that if
        !            51: .Ar count
        !            52: is to be specified,
