PICK(1) PICK(1)
NAME
pick - pick arguments
SYNOPSIS
pick [ - | arg ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Pick writes each argument to the standard error and reads a
reply. If the reply is y, the argument is echoed to the
standard output; if the reply is q, pick exits without read-
ing any more arguments; there is no output for any other
response. If the first argument to pick is a - the selec-
tion is for each line of the standard input, rather than
arguments.
Pick is useful for interactive selection of argument lists,
as in
wc `pick *.[ch]`
