                      8: Print multi-column output
                      9:

                     11: 
                     12: c reads lines from the  standard input and writes them in columns
                     13: on the standard output.  The  longest input line and the width of
                     14: the page determine how many columns will fit across the page.
                     15: 
                     16: c recognizes the following options:
                     17: 
                     18: -ll _N  Set the length  of the page  to N lines.   c columnizes its
                     19:      output by pages when this option is used with mode 1 or mode
                     20:      2.
                     21: 
                     22: -ww _N Set  the width of the page to  N characters.  The default is
                     23:      80.
                     24: 
                     25: -00   Multi-column  mode 0.  Order the  fields horizontally across
                     26:      the page.
                     27: 
                     28: -11   Multi-column mode 1 (default mode).  Order the fields verti-
                     29:      cally down each column; the last column may be short.
                     30: 
                     31: -22   Multi-column mode 2.   Order the fields similarly to mode 1,
                     32:      but place  blank fields in the last  output line rather than
                     33:      the last column.
                     34: 
                     35: Options  may  also  be given  in  the  environmental variable  C,
                     36: separated by white  space.  Command line options override options
                     37: in the environment.  For example,
                     38: 
                     39: 
                     40:         export C="-l56 -w72 -2"
                     41:         c -w80 <file1
                     42:

                     44: has the same effect as
                     45: 
                     46: 
                     47:         c -l56 -w72 -2 -w80 <file1
                     48: 
                     49: 
                     50: This command sets the page width to 80 rather than to 72.
