display. You specify ranges of fields and multiple field numbers in the same
way you specify ranges of character positions and multiple character
positions in –c mode.
–n Does not split characters. If the low byte in a selected range is not the first
byte of a character, cut extends the range downward to include the entire
character; if the high byte in a selected range is not the last byte of a
character, cut limits the range to include only the last entire character
before the high byte selected. If –n is selected, cut does not list ranges that
do not encompass an entire character, and these ranges do not cause an
error.
–s Does not display lines that do not contain a field separator character.
Normally, cut displays lines that do not contain a field separator character
in their entirety.
