DESCRIPTION
       This documentation is no longer being maintained  and  may
       be inaccurate or incomplete.  The Texinfo documentation is
       now the authoritative source.

       This manual page  documents  the  GNU  version  of  paste.
       paste  prints lines consisting of sequentially correspond-
       ing lines of each given file, separated  by  TABs,  termi-
       nated  by  a newline.  If no files are given, the standard
       input is used.  A file name of `-' means standard input.

   OPTIONS
       -s, --serial
              Paste the lines of one file at a time  rather  than
              one line from each file.

       -d, --delimiters delim-list
              Consecutively  use  the  characters  in  delim-list
              instead of TAB  to  separate  merged  lines.   When
              delim-list  is exhausted, start again at its begin-
              ning.

       --help Print a usage message and exit with a  status  code
              indicating success.

       --version
              Print  version  information on standard output then
              exit.
