SHOW (1)                     7/1/79                      SHOW (1)




NAME
   show - show all characters in a file

SYNOPSIS
   show [files ...]

DESCRIPTION
   Show  copies the named files to the standard output, replacing
   control characters by "^c", where c  is  the  ascii  character
   used  to  enter  the  control  character  when  depressing the
   "control" key on most terminals.  More  precisely,  c  is  the
   ascii  character  whose value is 100 (octal) plus the value of
   the control character. 

   Control characters are  those  ascii  characters  with  values
   between   0   and   31,  inclusive.   Newline  characters  are
   displayed as usual, however. 

   If no filenames are given, or the name '-' is specified,  show
   will read from the standard input.
