17 /* By default, convert all tabs to spaces.
18 Preserves backspace characters in the output; they decrement the
19 column count for tab calculations.
20 The default action is equivalent to -8.
22 Options:
23 --tabs=tab1[,tab2[,...]]
24 -t tab1[,tab2[,...]]
25 -tab1[,tab2[,...]] If only one tab stop is given, set the tabs tab1
26 columns apart instead of the default 8. Otherwise,
27 set the tabs at columns tab1, tab2, etc. (numbered from
28 0); replace any tabs beyond the tab stops given with
29 single spaces.
30 --initial
31 -i Only convert initial tabs on each line to spaces.
