91 be set at those specific column positions. Each tab-stop
92 position N must be an integer value greater than zero,
93 and the list must be in strictly ascending order. This
94 is taken to mean that, from the start of a line of
95 output, tabbing to position N will cause the next
96 character output to be in the (N+1)th column position on
97 that line. When the -t option is not specified, the
98 default is the equivalent of specifying -t 8 (except for
99 the interaction with -a, described below).
100
101 No space-to-tab character conversions occur for
102 characters at positions beyond the last of those
103 specified in a multiple tab-stop list.
104
105 When -t is specified, the presence or absence of the -a
106 option is ignored; conversion will not be limited to the
107 processing of leading blank characters.
108
109
110 OPERANDS
111 The following ooperand is supported for expand and unexpand:
112
113 file
114 The path name of a text file to be used as input.
115
116
117 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
118 See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables
119 that affect the execution of expand and unexpand: LANG, LC_ALL,
120 LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
121
122 EXIT STATUS
123 The following exit values are returned:
124
125 0
126 Successful completion
127
128
129 >0
130 An error occurred.
