BANNER(1)                   General Commands Manual                  BANNER(1)

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.
