NAME


kwic - make keyword in context index


SYNOPSIS


kwic [file ...]


DESCRIPTION


Kwic
rotates lines from the input files so that each word in the sentence
appears at the beginning of a line, with a special character marking
the original position of the end of the line.
The output from kwic is typically sorted with 'sort' and then
unrotated with 'unrot' to produce a keyword-in-context index.

If no input files are given, or if the filename '-' appears, lines
will be read from standard input.

DIAGNOSTICS

processing is terminated.
