Options

16       filename
17              Name  of  a  ASCII  table  file.   At least one of these must be
18              present for any values to be printed.  If it is stdin or  STDIN,
19              an  ASCII  table  is expected as standard input.  If there is no
20              input file, standard input is assumed.
21
22       @filename
23              Name of a file containing a list of ASCII table files.  If  this
24              is  present,  any  other  file names on the command line will be
25              ignored.
26
27       field range
28              Print value of these columns for the number of lines of the  ta‐
29              ble  specified by the -n argument after the skippiing the number
30              of lines specified by the -s argument.  A value of 0 causes  the
31              entire input line to be printed.
32
33       -a     Sum  all  numeric columns selected, printing the sum on the line
34              following the result.  Columns with no sum are filled with  ___.
35              (Added in version 2.6.9)
36
37       -b     Input is bar-separate table file
38
39       -c     Add count of number of lines in each column at end
40
41       -d <number>
42              Number of decimal places in f.p. output
43
44       -e     Compute medians of selected columns
45
46       -f     Print range of values in selected columns
47
48       -h     Print Starbase tab table header
49
50       -i     Input is tab-separate table file
51
52       -k     Print number of columns on first line
53
54       -l <number>
55              Number of lines to add to each line
56
57       -m     Compute  the means of all numeric columns selected, printing the
58              mean on the line following the result (or the line following the
59              sum  if  -a is used).  Columns with no mean are filled with ___.
60              (Added in version 2.6.9)
61
62       -n num Print selected columns for this many lines.  If  not  specified,
63              all lines will be read after the number of lines specified by -s
64              have been skipped.
65
66       -o     OR conditions insted of ANDing them
67
68       -p     Print only sum, mmean, sigma, median, or range, not entries
69
70       -r @listfile
71              -r line range Print columns from the lines specified  as  either
72              the  first  nonzero  number on each line of the file listfile or
73              the comma- and hyphen- delimitied  range;  i.e.  1-5,10-12  will
74              print  values  from lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12.  (added
75              in version 2.6.12)
76
77       -s num Skip this many line before starting to  print  values.   If  not
78              specified, no lines will be skipped.
79
80       -t     Starbase (tab-separated) table output
81
82       -v     Print more information about process.
