NAME
pick - pick arguments
SYNOPSIS
pick [ - | arg ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Pick writes each argument to the standard error and reads a reply. If
the reply is y, the argument is echoed to the standard output; if the
reply is q, pick exits without reading any more arguments; there is no
output for any other response. If the first argument to pick is a -
the selection is for each line of the standard input, rather than argu‐
ments.
Pick is useful for interactive selection of argument lists, as in
wc `pick *.[ch]`
