NAME
       head - give first few lines

SYNOPSIS
       count] [file ...]

   Obsolescent:
       [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
       prints  on  standard output the first count lines of each of the speciā€
       fied files, or of the standard input.  If count is omitted it  defaults
       to 10.

       If  multiple  files  are	 specified, outputs before each file a line of
       this form:

	      file

   Options
       The quantity of output is measured in bytes.

       The number of units of output.
		      This option is provided for backward compatibility  (see
		      below) and is mutually exclusive of all other options.

       The quantity of output is measured in lines; this is the default.

       The number of lines (default) or bytes output.
		      count  is	 an  unsigned  decimal integer.	 If (or is not
		      given, the default quantity is 10.  This option provides
		      the  same	 functionality	as  the	 option, but in a more
		      standard way.  Use of the option	is  recommended	 where
		      portability between systems is important.

       of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of

       If  any	internationalization  variable	contains  an  invalid setting,
       behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to  "C".   See
