Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility performs an
|
|
.Dq equality join
|
|
on the specified files
|
|
and writes the result to the standard output.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq join field
|
|
is the field in each file by which the files are compared.
|
|
The first field in each line is used by default.
|
|
There is one line in the output for each pair of lines in
|
|
.Ar file1
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar file2
|
|
which have identical join fields.
|
|
Each output line consists of the join field, the remaining fields from
|
|
.Ar file1
|
|
and then the remaining fields from
|
|
.Ar file2 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The default field separators are tab and space characters.
|
|
In this case, multiple tabs and spaces count as a single field separator,
|
|
and leading tabs and spaces are ignored.
|
|
The default output field separator is a single space character.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Many of the options use file and field numbers.
|
|
Both file numbers and field numbers are 1 based, i.e., the first file on
|
|
the command line is file number 1 and the first field is field number 1.
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl a Ar file_number
|
|
In addition to the default output, produce a line for each unpairable
|
|
line in file
|
|
.Ar file_number .
|
|
.It Fl e Ar string
|
|
Replace empty output fields with
|
|
.Ar string .
|
|
.It Fl o Ar list
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option specifies the fields that will be output from each file for
|
|
each line with matching join fields.
|
|
Each element of
|
|
.Ar list
|
|
has either the form
|
|
.Ar file_number . Ns Ar field ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar file_number
|
|
is a file number and
|
|
.Ar field
|
|
is a field number, or the form
|
|
.Ql 0
|
|
.Pq zero ,
|
|
representing the join field.
|
|
The elements of list must be either comma
|
|
.Pq Ql \&,
|
|
or whitespace separated.
|
|
(The latter requires quoting to protect it from the shell, or, a simpler
|
|
approach is to use multiple
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
options.)
|
|
.It Fl t Ar char
|
|
Use character
|
|
.Ar char
|
|
as a field delimiter for both input and output.
|
|
Every occurrence of
|
|
.Ar char
|
|
in a line is significant.
|
|
.It Fl v Ar file_number
|
|
Do not display the default output, but display a line for each unpairable
|
|
line in file
|
|
.Ar file_number .
|
|
The options
|
|
.Fl v Cm 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl v Cm 2
|
|
may be specified at the same time.
|
|
.It Fl 1 Ar field
|
|
Join on the
|
|
.Ar field Ns 'th
|
|
field of
|
|
.Ar file1 .
|
|
.It Fl 2 Ar field
|
|
Join on the
|
|
.Ar field Ns 'th
|
|
field of
|
|
.Ar file2 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When the default field delimiter characters are used, the files to be joined
|
|
should be ordered in the collating sequence of
|
|
.Xr sort 1 ,
|
|
using the
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
option, on the fields on which they are to be joined, otherwise
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may not report all field matches.
|
|
When the field delimiter characters are specified by the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option, the collating sequence should be the same as
|
|
.Xr sort 1
|
|
without the
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If one of the arguments
|
|
.Ar file1
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar file2
|
|
is
|
|
.Sq Fl ,
|
|
the standard input is used.

.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
For compatibility with historic versions of
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
the following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
In addition to the default output, produce a line for each unpairable line
|
|
in both
|
|
.Ar file1
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar file2 .
|
|
.It Fl j1 Ar field
|
|
Join on the
|
|
.Ar field Ns 'th
|
|
field of
|
|
.Ar file1 .
|
|
.It Fl j2 Ar field
|
|
Join on the
|
|
.Ar field Ns 'th
|
|
field of
|
|
.Ar file2 .
|
|
.It Fl j Ar field
|
|
Join on the
|
|
.Ar field Ns 'th
|
|
field of both
|
|
.Ar file1
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar file2 .
|
|
.It Fl o Ar list ...
|
|
Historical implementations of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
permitted multiple arguments to the
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option.
|
|
These arguments were of the form
|
|
.Ar file_number . Ns Ar field_number
|
|
as described
|
|
for the current
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option.
|
|
This has obvious difficulties in the presence of files named
|
|
.Pa 1.2 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These options are available only so historic shell scripts do not require
|
|
modification and should not be used.
