5. Text processing
  


od, split, and fmt page 11 of 14


od

od transforms the input stream into an octal or hex "dump" format.

split

split splits a larger file into many smaller-sized, more manageable chunks.

fmt

fmt reformats paragraphs so that wrapping is done at the margin. This ability is built into most text editors, but it's still a good one to know.
