This program was designed for the purpose of generating compact, columnized tables. It will read a list of text items from standard in or a specified input file and produce a columnized listing of all the non-blank lines. Leading white space on each line is preserved, but trailing white space is stripped. Methods of applying per-entry and per-line embellishments are provided. See the formatting and separation arguments below.
This program is used by AutoGen to help clean up and organize its output.
See autogen/agen5/fsm.tpl and the generated output pseudo-fsm.h.
This function was not implemented as an expression function because either it would have to be many expression functions, or a provision would have to be added to provide options to expression functions. Maybe not a bad idea, but it is not being implemented at the moment.
A side benefit is that you can use it outside of autogen
to
columnize input, a la the ls
command.
