bound is a program that is part of the numeric utilities package. bound will find boundary numbers (minimum and maximum) in files or STDIN. By default it will find the upper bound in the set of numbers (the maximum number) in the files or on STDIN. You can use the -l option for finding the lower bound (minumum number).
-l -- Return the lower bound number in the set (the minimum number)
-h Help: You're looking at it.
-V Increase verbosity.
-d Debug mode. For developers
bound currently will only gather the first number on each line instead of all the numbers on the lines.
