NAME
     banner - generates a poster

SYNOPSIS
     banner string...

ARGUMENTS
     string
          Specifies a string of no more than ten characters. The
          banner command truncates any additional characters. If
          you use quotation marks to enclose words separated by a
          space, banner generates its output on one line.
          Otherwise, banner interprets multiple words as separate
          arguments and puts each word on its own line.

DESCRIPTION
     banner reproduces its arguments in large letters, using the
     number sign (#), on the standard output.

EXAMPLES
     This command causes the characters H, A, P, P, and Y to be
     printed in large letters:

        banner HAPPY | lp


FILES
     /usr/bin/banner
