DESCRIPTION
Pf prints files. Usually the files come from the standard input as a result of a, perhaps filtered,lf command.
As intro(1) says, the input in Clive includes directory entries, raw data, and other data types (ignored by convention). This command is used as the last command in many pipe-lines to print the result of the processing or to write the resulting files back to disk.
EXAMPLES
List files in the home directory:
; lf $home,1 | pf
/zx/usr/nemo
/zx/usr/nemo/acme
/zx/usr/nemo/bin
...
List Go files and their contents:
; lf -g ,~go$ | pf
Rewrite all files with their first three lines:
; lg -g , | lns -r ,3 | pf -w
The same, but write them under /tmp:
; lg -g , | lns -r ,3 | pf -w -o /tmp
There are more examples in lf(1) and other manual pages.
