/* The list of valid escape sequences has been expanded over the Unix
   version, to include \b, \f, \r, and \v.

   POSIX changes, bug fixes, long-named options, and cleanup
   by David MacKenzie <djm@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.

   Options:
   --serial
   -s				Paste one file at a time rather than
                                one line from each file.
   --delimiters=delim-list
   -d delim-list		Consecutively use the characters in
                                DELIM-LIST instead of tab to separate
                                merged lines.  When DELIM-LIST is exhausted,
                                start again at its beginning.
   A FILE of '-' means standard input.
   If no FILEs are given, standard input is used. */
