NAME
rev - reverse lines characterwise
SYNOPSIS
rev [option] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
The rev utility copies the specified files to standard output,
reversing the order of characters in every line. If no files are
specified, standard input is read.
This utility is a line-oriented tool and it uses in-memory allocated
buffer for a whole wide-char line. If the input file is huge and
without line breaks than allocate the memory for the file may be
unsuccessful.
