COMM 1 ""
.AT 3
NAME
comm - select or reject lines common to two sorted files
SYNOPSIS
comm [
- [
123 ]
] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
Comm reads
file1 and
file2, which should be ordered in ASCII collating sequence,
and produces a three column output: lines only in
file1; lines only in
file2; and lines in both files.
The filename `-' means the standard input.
Flags 1, 2, or 3 suppress printing of the corresponding column. Thus comm -12 prints only the lines common to the two files; comm -23 prints only lines in the first file but not in the second; comm -123 is a no-op.
