.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B join
|
|
[
|
|
.I options
|
|
]
|
|
.I file1 file2
|
|
.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 .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI -1 " m
|
|
.br
|
|
.ns
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI -2 " m
|
|
Join on the
|
|
.IR m th
|
|
field of
|
|
.I file1
|
|
or
|
|
.IR file2 .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI -j "n m"
|
|
Archaic equivalent for
|
|
.BI - n " m"\f1.
|
|
.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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI -t c
|
|
Use character
|
|
.I c
|
|
as the only separator (tab character) on input and output.
|
|
Every appearance of
|
|
.I c
|
|
in a line is significant.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES

|
|
Add birthdays to the
|

.B /adm/users
|
|
is given in
|
|
.IR users (6);
|
|
.B bdays
|
|
contains sorted lines like
|
|
.LR "ken:Feb\ 4,\ 1953" .

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.
|
