Description
-----------

linecut outputs selected lines from streams. The motivation
to develop such a tool was to provide missing functionality
not found within head, tail & sed.

It features line-numbering (as seen in coreutils' cat),
multiple files and a diversity of range specifications.

Ranges may consist of absolute, relative-to-EOF, or relative
from previous (advancement) line positions. Multiple ranges
can be chained, but that requires that they don't overlap.
Furthermore, the line-numbering is not unique to each file
and filename headers will be output if requested.
