I’d like to reverse the order of lines in a text file (or stdin), preserving the contents of each line.
So, i.e., starting with:
foo
bar
baz
I’d like to end up with
baz
bar
foo
Is there a standard UNIX commandline utility for this?

Also worth mentioning: tac
(the, ahem, reverse of cat
). Part of coreutils.
tac a.txt > b.txt
