NAME
     head - display first few lines of files

SYNOPSIS
     head [ -n ] [ file...]

DESCRIPTION
     head copies the first n lines of each file to  the  standard
     output.   If  no  file  is given, head copies lines from the
     standard input.  The default value of n is 10  lines.   When
     more than one file is specified, the start of each file will
     look like:

          ==>file<== Thus, a common way to display a set of short
          files, identifying each one, is:
          head -9999 file1 file2 ...
