     REV(1)                                                     REV(1)

     NAME
          rev, revpag - reverse lines or pages

     SYNOPSIS
          rev [ file ] ...

          revpag [ option ] ... [ file ] ...

     DESCRIPTION
          Rev copies the standard input or the named files to the
          standard output, reversing the order of characters in every
          line.

          Revpag copies the standard input or the named files to the
          standard output, reversing the order of the pages.  (The
          name `-' means the standard input.)  Options define what
          constitutes a `page':

          -d      flags the input as troff(1) output; line counts are
                  ignored.

          -f      appends a new-page character (014) to the last input
                  page (which is the first page on the output), if
                  this page is not of the declared length.

          -l n    sets the number of lines per page (66 by default) in
                  the case of ordinary ASCII input. A new-page charac-
                  ter (014) is also recognized as a page break.

          -o list produces only pages whose page numbers appear in the
                  comma-separated list of numbers and ranges. A `page
                  number' means the ordinal position of a page in the
                  input. A range n-m means pages n through m; a range
                  -n means from the beginning to page n; a range n-
                  means from page n to the end. Numbers and ranges may
                  appear in any order.
