NAME
ssam - stream interface to sam
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Ssam copies the named files (standard input default) to the standard
output, edited by a script of sam commands (q.v.). When the script
starts, the entire input is selected. The -f option causes the script
to be taken from file sfile. If there is a -e option and no -f, the
flag -e may be omitted. The -n option suppresses the default output.
EXAMPLES

Print first 10 lines of file.
ssam 'y/[a-zA-Z]+/ c/\n/' *.ms
Print one word per line.

ssam 'y/[a-zA-Z]+/ c/\n/' | grep . | sort | uniq -c
