NAME
linex - line extraction
SYNOPSIS
linex [-ns] line-numbers
DESCRIPTION
_l_i_n_e_x extracts the named lines from the standard input and prints them
to the standard output. Line numbers begin with 1. Ranges of line
numbers can be abbreviated with arguments of the form #-# (e.g., 12-
24). Line ranges can be in reverse order (e.g., 5-1 to reverse the
first five lines).
OPTIONS
-n Number output lines.
-s Silent running. By default, _l_i_n_e_x complains if you request a
line not found in the file. This option turns off the warning
messages.
EXAMPLES
linex 1 2 3 4 # lines 1 through 4
linex 1-4 # an abbreviation of the above
linex 4-1 # lines 4-1 in reverse order
linex -s 500-1000 # lines 500 to 1000, if they are there
LIMITS
There is a limit on the maximum number of lines you can print;
probably 1000. Use the -L option to determine the program limits.
