NAME
     rev - reverse lines characterwise

SYNOPSIS
     rev [option] [file...]

DESCRIPTION
     The  rev  utility	copies the specified files to standard output, reversing
     the order of characters in every line. If no files are specified,	standard
     input is read.

     This utility is a line-oriented tool and it uses in-memory allocated buffer
     for  a  whole  wide-char  line.  If the input file is huge and without line
     breaks then allocating the memory for the file may be unsuccessful.

OPTIONS
     -0, --zero
	 Zero termination. Use the byte '\0' as line separator.

     -h, --help
	 Display help text and exit.

     -V, --version
	 Display version and exit.
