NAME
rev - reverse lines characterwise
SYNOPSIS
rev [option] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
The rev utility copies the specified files to standard output, reversing
the order of characters in every line. If no files are specified,
standard input is read.
This utility is a line-oriented tool and it uses in-memory allocated
buffer for a whole wide-char line. If the input file is huge and without
line breaks then allocating the memory for the file may be unsuccessful.
OPTIONS
-0, --zero
Zero termination. Use the byte '\0' as line separator.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
-V, --version
Display version and exit.
