Please see discussion at the current list of pendong Coreutils items: http://www.pixelbeat.org/patches/coreutils/inbox_dec_2014.html previous discussion here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2014-11/msg00022.html and various examples of how to achieve the same using sed/head: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2013-01/msg00034.html regards, - assaf
