|

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|

.Nm

|
.Op Fl bfhpx
|
|
.Op Fl l Ar num
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility filters out reverse (and half reverse) line feeds so that the output is
|
|
in the correct order with only forward and half forward line
|
|
feeds, and replaces white-space characters with tabs where possible.
|
|
This can be useful in processing the output of
|
|
.Xr nroff 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr tbl 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility reads from the standard input and writes to the standard output.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Do not output any backspaces, printing only the last character
|
|
written to each column position.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Forward half line feeds are permitted (``fine'' mode).
|
|
Normally characters printed on a half line boundary are printed
|
|
on the following line.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Do not output multiple spaces instead of tabs (default).
|
|
.It Fl l Ar num
|
|
Buffer at least
|
|
.Ar num
|
|
lines in memory.
|
|
By default, 128 lines are buffered.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Force unknown control sequences to be passed through unchanged.
|
|
Normally,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will filter out any control sequences from the input other than those
|
|
recognized and interpreted by itself, which are listed below.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Output multiple spaces instead of tabs.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The control sequences for carriage motion that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
understands and their decimal values are listed in the following
|
|
table:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "carriage return" -compact
|
|
.It ESC\-7
|
|
reverse line feed (escape then 7)
|
|
.It ESC\-8
|
|
half reverse line feed (escape then 8)
|
|
.It ESC\-9
|
|
half forward line feed (escape then 9)
|
|
.It backspace
|
|
moves back one column (8); ignored in the first column
|
|
.It carriage return
|
|
(13)
|
|
.It newline
|
|
forward line feed (10); also does carriage return
|
|
.It shift in
|
|
shift to normal character set (15)
|
|
.It shift out
|
|
shift to alternate character set (14)
|
|
.It space
|
|
moves forward one column (32)
|
|
.It tab
|
|
moves forward to next tab stop (9)
|
|
.It vertical tab
|
|
reverse line feed (11)
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All unrecognized control characters and escape sequences are
|
|
discarded.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility keeps track of the character set as characters are read and makes
|
|
sure the character set is correct when they are output.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the input attempts to back up to the last flushed line,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will display a warning message.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The
|
|
.Ev LANG , LC_ALL
|
|

|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
environment variables affect the execution of
