util-linux 2.40.2 2024-01-31 REV(1)
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 then allocating the memory for the file may be
unsuccessful.
