     COMM(1)                                                   COMM(1)

     NAME
          comm - select or reject lines common to two sorted files

     SYNOPSIS
          comm [ -123 ] file1 file2

     DESCRIPTION
          Comm reads lines from file1 and file2, which are in lexico-
          graphical order, and produces a three column output: lines
          only in file1; lines only in file2; and lines in both files.
          The file name `-' means the standard input.

          Each option digit `1', `2', or `3' suppresses printing of
          the corresponding column.

     EXAMPLE
          comm -12 file1 file2

               Print lines common to two sorted files.
