April 9, 1995 BANNER 1

### NAME

banner - print strings in large letters

### SYNOPSIS

banner [-f fg] [-b bg] [-l] 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.
