LINE NUMBERS IN LINUX 
 If you want a file with line
 numbers (say for printing).
 You can use the "nl" command
 in linux.
 
 $ nl file.c > file.c.num
 
 See man for more options.
 Normally nl gives line numbers
 only for non blank lines.
 
 To force it to give it to all lines
 use -ba option:
 
 $ nl -ba file.c >file.c.all_num
