Great, thanks, also noting comments from ikegami.

My use-case is part of a bigger setting whereas I find it convenient/simpler/fool-proof to slurp the whole file (tiny file sizes). So, I will not use -l but will use -0777. And I will use -p not because of its loop around the chunks being slurp at the tiem but because of its final print.

Do note that 0777 does not slurp all input, just until EOF; with multiple input files it loops over them, one chunk per file.	[reply]
