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

       -V, --version
	   Print version and exit.

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