.Os sbase
.Sh NAME
.Nm expand
.Nd expand tabs to spaces
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl i
.Op Fl t Ar tablist
.Op Ar file ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
converts tabs to spaces in each
.Ar file
as specified in
.Ar tablist .
If no file is given,
.Nm
reads from stdin.
.Pp
Backspace characters are preserved and decrement the column count
for tab calculations.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl i
Only expand tabs at the beginning of lines, i.e. expand each
line until a character different from '\et' and ' ' is reached.
.It Fl t Ar tablist
Specify tab size or tabstops.
.Ar tablist
is a list of one (in the former case) or multiple (in the latter case)
strictly positive integers separated by ' ' or ','.
.Pp
The default
.Ar tablist
is "8".
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr fold 1 ,
.Xr unexpand 1
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Nm
utility is compliant with the
.St -p1003.1-2008
specification.
.Pp
The
.Op Fl i
flag is an extension to that specification
Add tablist support and a mandoc-manpage to expand(1) and mark it as finished in the README. This is another example showing how broken the GNU coreutils are: $ echo -e "äää\tüüü\tööö" \| gnu-expand -t "5,10,20" äää üüü ööö $ echo -e "äää\tüüü\tööö" \| sbase-expand -t "5,10,20" äää üüü ööö This is due to the fact that they are still not UTF8-aware and actually see "ä" as two single characters, expanding the "äää" with 4 spaces to a tab of length 10. The correct way however is to expand the "äää" with 2 spaces to a tab of length 5. One can only imagine how this silently breaks a lot of code around the world.
