The application shall + ensure that the argument tablist consists of + either a single positive decimal integer or a + list of tabstops. If a single number is given, + tabs shall be set that number of column positions + apart instead of the default 8. + + If a list of tabstops is given, the application shall + ensure that it consists of a list of two or more posi- + tive decimal integers, separated by s or commas, + in ascending order. The tabs shall be set at those spe- + cific column positions. Each tab stop N shall be an + integer value greater than zero, and the list is in + strictly ascending order. This is taken to mean that, + from the start of a line of output, tabbing to position + N shall cause the next character output to be in the ( + N+1)th column position on that line. + + In the event of expand having to process a at a + position beyond the last of those specified in a multi- + ple tab-stop list, the shall be replaced by a sin- + gle in the output. + + +OPERANDS + The following operand shall be supported: + + file The pathname of a text file to be used as input. + + +STDIN + See the INPUT FILES section. + +INPUT FILES + Input files shall be text files. + +ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES + The following environment variables shall affect the + execution of expand: + + LANG Provide a default value for the + internationalization variables that are unset or + null. (See the Base Definitions volume of + IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, International- + ization Variables for the precedence of interna- + tionalization variables used to determine the + values of locale categories.) + + LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the + values of all the other internationalization + variables. + + LC_CTYPE + Determine the locale for the interpretation of + sequences of bytes of text data as characters + (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi- + byte characters in arguments and input files), + the processing of s and s, and for + the determination of the width in column posi- + tions each character would occupy on an output + device. + + LC_MESSAGES + Determine the locale that should be used to + affect the format and contents of diagnostic mes- + sages written to standard error. + + NLSPATH + Determine the location of message catalogs for + the processing of LC_MESSAGES . + + +ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS + Default. + +STDOUT + The standard output shall be equivalent to the input + files with s converted into the appropriate number + of s. + +STDERR + The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic + messages. + +OUTPUT FILES + None. + +EXTENDED DESCRIPTION + None. + +EXIT STATUS + The following exit values shall be returned: + + 0 Successful completion + + >0 An error occurred. + + +CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS + The expand utility shall terminate with an error message + and non-zero exit status upon encountering difficulties + accessing one of the file operands. + + The following sections are informative. + +APPLICATION USAGE + None. + +EXAMPLES + None. + +RATIONALE + The expand utility is useful for preprocessing text + files (before sorting, looking at specific columns, and + so on) that contain s. + + See the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, + Section 3.103, Column Position. + + The tablist option-argument consists of integers in + ascending order.
