NAME

       rev - reverse lines characterwise

SYNOPSIS

       rev [option] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       The rev utility copies the specified files to standard output, reversing the order of
       characters in every line. If no files are specified, standard input is read.

       This utility is a line-oriented tool and it uses in-memory allocated buffer for a whole
       wide-char line. If the input file is huge and without line breaks than allocate the memory
       for the file may be unsuccessful.
