       to the standard output.

       _-_n_, _-_-_n_u_m_b_e_r
              Number all output lines, starting with 1.

              blank line.

       _-_t     Equivalent to _-_v_T.

       _-_u     Ignored; for Unix compatibility.

       _-_v_, _-_-_s_h_o_w_-_n_o_n_p_r_i_n_t_i_n_g
              Display control characters except for LFD  and  TAB
              using `^' notation and precede characters that have
              the high bit set with `M-'.

       _-_A_, _-_-_s_h_o_w_-_a_l_l

       The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as  well
       as  `--', for compatibility with previous releases.  Even-
       tually support for `+' will  be  removed,  because  it  is
       incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard.
