join(1)

NAME
join - For each pair of input lines with identical join fields, write a line to standard output. The default join field is the first, delimited by blanks.

When `FILE1` or `FILE2` (not both) is `-`, read standard input.

SYNOPSIS
join [-a ] [-v ] [-e ] [-i|--ignore-case] [-j ] [-o ] [-t ] [-1 ] [-2 ] [--check-order] [--nocheck-order] [--header] [-z|--zero-terminated] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] <FILE1> <FILE2>

DESCRIPTION
For each pair of input lines with identical join fields, write a line to standard output. The default join field is the first, delimited by blanks.

When `FILE1` or `FILE2` (not both) is `-`, read standard input.

OPTIONS

-a=FILENUM
    also print unpairable lines from file FILENUM, where FILENUM is 1 or 2, corresponding to FILE1 or FILE2

    [possible values: 1, 2]

-v=FILENUM
    like -a FILENUM, but suppress joined output lines

    [possible values: 1, 2]

-e=EMPTY

    obey FORMAT while constructing output line

-t=CHAR
    use CHAR as input and output field separator

-1=FIELD
    join on this FIELD of file 1

-2=FIELD
    join on this FIELD of file 2

--check-order
    check that the input is correctly sorted, even if all input lines are pairable

--nocheck-order
    do not check that the input is correctly sorted

--header
    treat the first line in each file as field headers, print them without trying to pair them
