add size option to limit the print size

[arstercz]

Maybe someone don't want to print many lines when the file is too big or read large data from stdin.

Sorry for the late reply. Can people not pipe it to less? e.g. ccat FILE | less

Hi @jingweno : people can use pipe, but many new user often forget to use pipe, and in some scenarios, such as MySQL pager option, many people just want print the all lines at once. So I think this option is useful for some sysadmins or developers.
