# NAME

banner — print strings in large letters

# SYNOPSIS

banner | [-l] [-b bg] [-f fg] string ...

# DESCRIPTION

banner prints up to 10 chars of each string in large letters on the standard output.

The options are:

-b bg
  Use bg as the background color (character) rather than the default “ ”.
-f fg
  Use fg as the foreground color (character) rather than the default “#”. If fg is “-”, then the actual letter being printed is used as the foreground color in the same way that LPD does it. The results are quite variable.
-l
  Use the more attractive LPD font instead of the traditional banner font.

# EXIT STATUS

The banner utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
