-ssep Sep is the character(s) used in separating the line
number and the corresponding text line. Default sep
is a tab.

-lnum
-dxx
values are: In, left justified, leading zeroes suppressed;
rn, right justified, leading zeroes suppressed; rz, right
justified, leading zeroes kept. Default format is rn
(right justified).
Num is the number of blank lines to be considered as
one. For example, -12 results in only the second
adjacent blank being numbered (if the appropriate
-ha , -ba, and/or -fa option is set). Default is 1.
The delimiter characters specifying the start of a logical
page section may be changed from the default
characters (\:) to two user specified characters. If
only one character is entered, the second character
remains the default character (:). No space should
appear between the -d and the delimiter characters.
To enter a backslash, use two backslashes.
EXAMPLE
The command:
nl -v10 -i10 -d!+ file1 file2
will number files 1 and 2 starting at line number 10 with an increment
of ten. The logical page delimiters are !+.
