NAME
       kwic - make keyword in context index

SYNOPSIS
       kwic [file] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Kwic  rotates  lines  from the input files so that each word in
       the sentence appears at the beginning of a line, with a special
       character marking the original position of the end of the line.
       The output from kwic is typically sorted with 'sort'  and  then
       unrotated with 'unrot' to produce a keyword-in-context index.
       
       If  no  input  files are given, or if the filename '-' appears,
       lines will be read from standard input.

FILES

SEE ALSO
       unrot; sort

DIAGNOSTICS
       A message is printed if an input file cannot be opened; further
       processing is terminated.
