TAB(1) UNIX (LOCAL) TAB(1)
NAME
tab - indent a text file's left margin
SYNOPSIS
tab [-o #_of_spaces] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
Tab reads text from the named file (standard input if no
filename is given) and writes to standard output. The
default indentation is one tab position. The -o option
allows the indentation to be specified as a number of
spaces.
Some examples of usage:
tab infile (indents one tab position)
tab -o 3 infile (indents 3 spaces)
tab < infile (reads standard input, indents one tab)
tab -o 3 < infile (reads standard input, indents 3 spaces)
To send the indented output directly to the system printer
use:
tab file | lpr (Berkeley Unix)
tab file | lp (AT&T SYSV Unix)
SEE ALSO
cat(1), lpr(1,BSD), lp(1,SYSV)
