NAMEtabo(1) - nice display of tabular data file
SYNOPSIStabo [options] datafile
DESCRIPTION
Display tabular data nicely. The tabo utility takes a tabular data
file, makes a pass through it to measure field lengths, then displays
the data so that fields (columns) are aligned. Result is written to
standard output.
OPTIONS-l
Display rulings under the first line (assumed to be a header
line), and any replicated header lines.
-r
Assume that the first non-comment line in the file is a header
line, and replicate it every 30 lines (preceded by a blank
line). A "comment line" is any line beginning with two slashes
(//).
-s spacer
Write spacer symbol (one or more characters) between fields in
addition to the blank padding.
-t
Accept tab-delimited input where fields contain embedded spaces.
EXAMPLEStabo myfile
LIMITATIONStabo does not read the project config file.
tabo treats all fields in the same way, i.e. it centers them. This may
look strange for numerics.
