.SH SYNOPSIS
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I Join
|
||
|
|
forms, on the standard output,
|
||
|
|
a join
|
||
|
|
of the two relations specified by the lines of
|
||
|
|
.I file1
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.IR file2 .
|
||
|
|
If one of the file names is
|
||
|
|
.LR - ,
|
||
|
|
the standard input is used.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.I File1
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I file2
|
||
|
|
must be sorted in increasing
|
||
|
|
.SM ASCII
|
||
|
|
collating
|
||
|
|
sequence on the fields
|
||
|
|
on which they are to be joined,
|
||
|
|
normally the first in each line.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
There is one line in the output
|
||
|
|
for each pair of lines in
|
||
|
|
.I file1
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I file2
|
||
|
|
that have identical join fields.
|
||
|
|
The output line normally consists of the common field,
|
||
|
|
then the rest of the line from
|
||
|
|
.IR file1 ,
|
||
|
|
then the rest of the line from
|
||
|
|
.IR file2 .
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Input fields are normally separated spaces or tabs;
|
||
|
|
output fields by space.
|
||
|
|
In this case, multiple separators count as one, and
|
||
|
|
leading separators are discarded.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The following options are recognized, with POSIX syntax.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI -a " n
|
||
|
|
In addition to the normal output,
|
||
|
|
produce a line for each unpairable line in file
|
||
|
|
.IR n ,
|
||
|
|
where
|
||
|
|
.I n
|
||
|
|
is 1 or 2.
|

|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI -v " n
|
||
|
|
Like
|
||
|
|
.BR -a ,
|
||
|
|
omitting output for paired lines.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI -e " s
|
||
|
|
Replace empty output fields by string
|
||
|
|
.IR s .

|
.BI -j "n m"
|

.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI -o fields
|
||
|
|
Each output line comprises the designated fields.
|
||
|
|
The comma-separated field designators are either
|
||
|
|
.BR 0 ,
|
||
|
|
meaning the join field, or have the form
|
||
|
|
.IR n . m ,
|
||
|
|
where
|
||
|
|
.I n
|
||
|
|
is a file number and
|
||
|
|
.I m
|
||
|
|
is a field number.
|
||
|
|
Archaic usage allows separate arguments for field designators.
|

|
|
.TP
|

.BI -t c
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
.I c

|
|
.I c
|
||
|
|
in a line is significant.

.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
With default field separation,
|
||
|
|
the collating sequence is that of
|
||
|
|
.BI "sort -b"
|
||
|
|
.BI -k y , y\f1;
|
||
|
|
with
|
||
|
|
.BR -t ,
|
||
|
|
the sequence is that of
|
||
|
|
.BI "sort -t" x
|
||
|
|
.BI -k y , y\f1.
|
||
|
