[-w width]
[message] |
banner
prints a large, high quality banner on standard
output. If message is omitted, one line of standard
input is read for it. A prompt is written to standard error in case standard
input is connected to a terminal.
If -w
is given, the output is scrunched
down from a width of 132 (the default) to width,
suitable for a narrow terminal.
The output should be printed on paper of the appropriate width, with no breaks between the pages.
banner
utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
/usr/games/banner -w 80
`date`
The -w
option is implemented by skipping
some rows and columns. The smaller it gets, the grainier the output.
Sometimes it runs letters together.
