NAME

numsum - numsum program file

SYNOPSIS

numsum [-iIcdhrsvxy] <FILE>

| numsum [-iIcdhrsvxy] (Input on STDIN from pipeline.)

numsum [-iIcdhrsvxy] (Input on STDIN. Use Ctrl-D to stop.)

DESCRIPTION

numsum will take all the numbers on stdin and return the sum of those numbers. Currently it only processes the first number on each line (unless when using the -x option). Besides positive numbers, it also handles negative numbers and numbers with decimals.

OPTIONS

    -i  Only return the integer portion of the final sum.
    -I  Only return the decimal portion of the final sum.

    -c  Print out the sum of each column.
    -r  Print out the sum of each row.

    -x <n>  Specify a comma separated list of columns to print.
    -y <n>  Specify a comma separated list of rows to print.

    -s <string> Specify a string to use as a separator for columns.
                This defaults to be consecutive whitespace (\s+).

    -h  Help: You're looking at it.
    -V  Increase verbosity.
    -d  Debug mode.  For developers
    -q  Quiet mode, don't print any warnings.
