     number - convert Arabic numerals to English

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     number [-l] [#]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The number utility prints the English equivalent of the number to the
     standard  output,  with  each  10^3 magnitude displayed on a
separate line.
     If no argument is specified, number  reads  lines  from  the
standard input.

     The options are as follows:

     -l      Display the number on a single line.

     number  understands  negative numbers (although they must be
preceded by
     `--' if they are on the command line to avoid being mistaken
for options)
     and numbers in scientific notation (e.g. 1.234E+05).
