NAME
head - the first lines of something
SYNOPSIS
head [-n count] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The first lines of each file, or of what a pipe hands it. More than one file and
each gets a ==> name <== header, as head has always done.
A note’s lines are its paragraphs — the shape the shell is handed — so head -2
on a post gives you its first two paragraphs.
OPTIONS
- -n count
- how many lines. -3, -n 3 and -n3 all mean three; ten if you say nothing.
EXAMPLES
ls | head -3
head -1 /tmp/out.txt
