−b Ignores blank lines and precedes each output line with its line number.
−e Displays a dollar sign ($) at the end of each output line.
−n Precedes all output lines (including blank lines) with line numbers.

−t Displays non-printing characters (including tabs) in output. In addition to those representations used with the −v option, all tab characters are displayed as ^I.
−u Unbuffers output.
−v Displays non-printing characters (excluding tabs). For example, <CTRLX> displays on the screen as ^X. The delete character (octal 0177) displays as ^?. Non-ASCII characters (with the high bit set) display as M- (which is the meta character) followed by the low 7 bits.
