join

JOIN(1) 								FSF								   JOIN(1)

NAME

       join - join lines of two files on a common field

SYNOPSIS

       join [OPTION]... FILE1 FILE2

DESCRIPTION

       For  each  pair of input lines with identical join fields, write a line to standard output.  The default join field is the first, delimited
       by whitespace.  When FILE1 or FILE2 (not both) is -, read standard input.

       -a SIDE
	      print unpairable lines coming from file SIDE

       -e EMPTY
	      replace missing input fields with EMPTY

       -i, --ignore-case ignore differences in case when comparing fields

       -j FIELD
	      (obsolescent) equivalent to `-1 FIELD -2 FIELD'

       -j1 FIELD
	      (obsolescent) equivalent to `-1 FIELD'

       -j2 FIELD
	      (obsolescent) equivalent to `-2 FIELD'

       -o FORMAT
	      obey FORMAT while constructing output line

       -t CHAR
	      use CHAR as input and output field separator

       -v SIDE
	      like -a SIDE, but suppress joined output lines

       -1 FIELD
	      join on this FIELD of file 1

       -2 FIELD
	      join on this FIELD of file 2

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       Unless -t CHAR is given, leading blanks separate fields and are ignored, else fields are separated by CHAR.  Any FIELD is  a  field  number
       counted from 1.	FORMAT is one or more comma or blank separated specifications, each being `SIDE.FIELD' or `0'.	Default FORMAT outputs the
       join field, the remaining fields from FILE1, the remaining fields from FILE2, all separated by CHAR.
