Manpages - rev.1

rev - reverse lines characterwise

rev [option] [/file/…]

The rev utility copies the specified files to standard output, reversing the order of characters in every line. If no files are specified, standard input is read.

This utility is a line-oriented tool and it uses in-memory allocated buffer for a whole wide-char line. If the input file is huge and without line breaks then allocating the memory for the file may be unsuccessful.

-h, –help

Display help text and exit.

-V, –version

Print version and exit.

-0, –zero

Zero termination. Use the byte \0 as line separator.
