#!/usr/bin/env bash

#
# tl(1): Tag lines from files or stdin with a string prefix or suffix before
# writing them to stdout. Specifying neither prefix nor suffix is acceptable,
# in which case the stream is simply reproduced on stdout, acting like cat(1).
#
# Option -h gives help. Specify a prefix with -p, and/or a suffix with -s. If
# no file arguments are given, defaults to reading standard input.
