.TH MW 1df "May 2017" "Manual page for mw"
.SH NAME
.B mw
\- get space-delimited alphabetic words from input, one per line
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mw FILE1
[FILE2...]
.br
prog1 |
.B mw
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mw
separates the input into space-delimited words and prints them one per line,
with no deduplication or sorting. It's a fairly naïve approach to the problem
but it works fine as a crude initial approach.
.SH NOTES
This was written after watching that lovely old AT&T video where members of the
Unix team (specifically Brian Kernighan and Lorinda Cherry) demonstrate piping
programs together; Kernighan demonstrates `makewords` during his example.
