page

page is a small UNIX utility for printing (or echoing) a specific page in a file or standard input. It's a replacement for the otherwise painful use of tail and head.

Building and installing

make -n all install
# if the install paths seems ok, then go ahead
make all install

Note

Some user asked what was meant by printing. It really means that page simply echoes (or copies) the input to standard output. If you need to send your output to a printer spooler, then you'll have to combine page with some other tools. E.g. 
page -2 somefile | lpr
will send page 2 of somefile to the print-spooler.
