The banner command¶

The banner command writes ASCII character Strings to standard output in large letters. Each line in the output can be up to 10 uppercase or lowercase characters in length. On output, all characters appear in uppercase, with the lowercase input characters appearing smaller than the uppercase input characters.

Note: If you will define more than one NUMBER with sleep command then this command will delay for the sum of the values.
