The attached patch adds a --compact option to pr that creates a 2 line header
and 0 line footer instead of the default 5 line header and 5 line footer.
This allows the normal header line with the file name, date and page number
without wasting 8 lines per page.
The alternatives would be 1) re-i

texi2roff can convert texinfo files to groff which can then produce various
text and printable formats.
It doesn't make a man page, but it does make something that you can open in a
text editor.
I updated it once about 20 years ago, and someone else updated it again about
10 years ago and bumped

I agree with what others have said that the ls output change should be reverted.
I have not commented before because I am not a maintainer of any open source
packages, so I suspected that my opinion would carry little weight.

Isn't it normal to left-align text and right-align numbers?

gnu parallel has options to keep the output from commands from being scrambled.
For example, -k keeps the output in the same order as the input job list.

I think that KLEE uses llvm to compile C programs to bytecode and then has a
bytecode interpreter that checks the coverage of test cases and a solver that
tries to generate test cases that completely cover the code. The person who

I think that split has to be able to read from pipes, so if it reads to the end
to find the number of lines, it can't back up to do the split.
If you don't care about the order of the lines, you could use "split

Doesn't this need to round up to avoid leaving a third file with one line if
the original file has an odd number of lines?
