BANNER(6) OpenBSD Reference Manual BANNER(6) NAME banner - print large banner on printer SYNOPSIS banner [-w width] message ... DESCRIPTION banner prints a large, high quality banner on the standard output. If the message is omitted, it prompts for and reads one line of its standard input. If -w is given, the output is scrunched down from a width of 132 to width, suitable for a narrow terminal. The output should be printed on a hard-copy device, up to 132 columns wide, with no breaks between the pages. SEE ALSO banner(1) AUTHORS Mark Horton BUGS Several ASCII characters are not defined, notably <, >, [, ], \, ^, _, {, }, |, and ~. Also, the characters ", ', and & are funny looking (but in a useful way). The -w option is implemented by skipping some rows and columns. The smaller it gets, the grainier the output. Sometimes it runs letters to- gether. OpenBSD 4.5 May 31, 2007 1
